1. I have no idea of what you are talking about. I just use the
standard, automatic settings and "print queue name" is just whatever the
OS gives it.

2. I doubt that you really want the original file(s) unless you are
interested in a 96 page cookbook. I have tried to print it in .doc and
.odt and the result is the same. I have also done the same with a simple
2 page document (both .odt and .doc) and the result is the same of no
duplex printing. I have used Word XP and Libre and Open Office. All have
the same outcome.

3. and 4. I have never tried either of these. I would have to try again
to print a document to try to get this information for you. If you feel
it is critical, let me know and provide whatever instructions would be
helpful.
