Duplex printing

When printing band parts on both sides of A3 paper using the duplex option on my Epson printer, the second page printed, i.e. on the "other" side of the paper, is upside down. There is and option to correct this in the duplex options dialogue box, but it is greyed out and cannot be accessed. Has anyone come across this one before, and has anyone found a solution? Is there perhaps some setting in the Epson printer I need to look at?

You might try accessing your printer directly(not through Sibelius) to see if there is a setting you can change.
Or print one side first, turn the paper around, print side two. Not ideal.
Check your printer documentation to see if duplex is possible for A3 paper.

I have come up with a workaround, but it is a little time-consuming. I save the whole Sibelius file as a PDF and then play around with the pages before printing.

I spent ages on the Epson helpline, and quite a few issues were resolved, but whilst it apparently okay on a Windows PC, it turns out that duplex booklet printing is not available for Mac using this printer. As I said, I have come up with a workaround using PDFs, but it is a little frustrating to say the least!

I managed to get this working properly.
I clicked into Duplex Options on the print dialogue then checked Landscape Orientation > Flip on short edge.
I'm not sure if anyone is still having trouble but this worked perfectly for me!

Thanks for all the suggestions - I'll try the "long-side" idea...
