Default Duplex Printing Leaves Blank Pages

I have created a 9 page directory in Publisher. When I print the directory
using the duplex option with my HP deskjet 5650 printer the middle two pages
of the directory are blank. Can that be fixed?

Default Duplex Printing Leaves Blank Pages

Swipesy was very recently heard to
utter:

middle two pages of the directory are blank.


Erm... this is taking three pieces of paper, correct?
Can you take three pieces of scrap paper, fold them up in booklet style, and
draw in numbers 1 to 9 on them where you think they should go. You end up
with blank pages.

Publisher doesn't know what to do with these blank pages. So it sticks them
at the end of the print job, which is in the centre of the booklet.

If you don't want your blank pages there, add them in your publication to
make a multiple of four pages.

Thank you Ed. I saw that multiple of 4's but did not understand its impact.
Now I do. Thank you for solving this problem for me.
