Vista - Printing double-sided on Epson C82 printers

Hi there,
I just bought a new laptop with Vista Ultimate. I have a Epson Stylus C82
printer. Under XP, I can print double-sided by selecting the double-sided
printing option. But with Vista, this option is eliminated. What should I
do? I am a student and need to print out large quantity of lecture notes, so
I really need to print double sided to save paper. Any help is appreciated!
Thank you very much!

Epson do not have a Vista compatible support software listed for your model,
and doubtful ever will..

Your options will be to upgrade your printer or downgrade your OS..
personally, I would upgrade the printer..

contact Epson and see if they have an updated driver package.
Features are part of the printing driver package.
FWIW both my printers RC2 drivers had the duplex feature (and it
worked <g>)

Your other choice is install XP, since that works for you with Epson.

Sorry, it's just too old for Epson to include any further development on
this unit other than the drivers on the Vista DVD.
