Ok, I think the bigger challenge here is to explain what I am looking to get done, so my apologies in advance if my explanation is lacking appropriate detail, or fails to utilize the appropriate terminology.

In my application, workbook (workbook1), worksheet(1) is populated with a series of ranges that represent, when printed, one 8.5"x11.5". There can be several pages represented, one below the other, on the worksheet.

In that same workbook, worksheet(2) is a static range that gets printed on the reverse side of each of the pages from worksheet(1).

What I find myself doing now, and I'm trying to make it a bit less reliant on the user, is print the pages in worksheet(1). At the printer, I put these sheets in the printer tray, and then print worksheet(2) x number of times to the preprinted pages in the printer drawer.

What code would one suggest I use in order to print worksheet(2) on the reverse of each page in worksheet(1) as it's printed without manually having to do adjust sheets and print seperately?

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Would suggest to export both worksheets simultaneously to a PDF (stored within a temporary folder) and then to print this PDF double-sided. There are several threads on this forum regarding this topic.

Thanks GWteB. Perhaps I'm not using the right search terms, but I'm not finding much I tried duplex printing, printing double sided, excel to pdf double sided printing. I found this post of yours, and tried, but the PDF created wasn't what I was looking for. In workbook 1 I have 4 pages. The result of the PDF was the four pages ending with the single page from worksheet 2.

I think I need: [ws1.page1, ws2-page1], [ws1.page2, ws2-page1], [ws1.page3, ws2-page1], [ws1.page4, ws2-page1], but what I got was ws1.page1, ws1.page2, ws1.page3, ws1.page4, ws2_page1.

Then once that's figured out I'm needing to do this via VBA and send to the printer. That is a bit advanced.
