I own an HL 5170 which comes with duplex printing and I wonder if its
possible to change
the default settings such that all printing is double sided by default
rather than the current
arrangement which has me clicking on printer properties each time and
ticking the duplex box
then "ok" twice.

Any suggestions??

You didn't specify what OS you were running, but in Windows 2000/XP,
if you go into Control Panel, then Printers (Printers & Faxes), and go
into properties on your printer and change the printing defaults
there, they usually become a system wide default.

If you share the printer, you do the same thing, but it is Properties,
advanced tab, Printing Defaults button. Changes there are for the SHARE
and are propogated to the clients.
