- I don't think so, dvi2ps do not completely conform with the PS structure
- convention, at least so can't ghostscript make out where pages ends and begins.
- If you have a printer that does print on both sides, and have a good
- postscript interpreter, then there is a PS command called duplex, you may
- try to do a \special{duplex} in the begining of the tex file, or modify
- dvi2ps or dvips prolog file directly. It should also be possible to
- modify the prolog files so that only even or odd pages are printed, I don't
- know enough about PS to do it myself but if there is a PS guru out there.....
