Both Sides Now : Duplexing color printer for smaller paper ? (a5) - cbelt3 - 07-03-2025
My brother MFC color laser printer does not duplex smaller paper sizes… and Mrs. Cbelt3 wants to print some stuff to put in her planner. Because that’s her thing.
Or am I overthinking this and should just print one side and then flip the paper ?

I don't know offhand of any that duplexes smaller sized paper, but depending on what she wants to do, you could get a regular color printer with duplex and then simply trim the paper with a paper cutter or such.
I get a lot of use out of my various color printers... just like the TV's in the other thread, I try to find them cheap used off Craigslist and such... folks often sell the older models for virtually nothing and it's really the toner that costs, but the generics are often very reasonably priced.

I concur with Peter: I don't know of anything that duplexes smaller paper sizes, but you can always use regular paper and trim it down.
