Duplexing does not work correctly from PREVIEW in BR 4.2

Hi all,
In NWP, has anyone tried to print to PREVIEW and then duplex the report when you print it to the printer? This is in BR 4.2.
My report is a landscape report that is supposed to flip on the long side. It works beautifully if I don't send it to PREVIEW first. But with PREVIEW, when I click the print button to send it to the printer, the even numbered pages are turned upside down 180 degrees.
I have tried it two ways:
1. Building the DUPLEX command into my print stream in my BR report program with PRINTER.SYS
(from PRINTER.SYS)...
rem ***** Duplex Mode NWP
PRINTER NWP [SIMPLEX], "\E&l0S"
PRINTER NWP [DUPLEX], "\E&l1S"
PRINTER NWP [DUPLEX SHORTEDGE], "\E&l2S"
2. Duplex at the time of printing with the printer driver.
I have the same duplexing result if I don't select duplexing inside my program, but rather when the printer selection box comes up. At that point, I select PROPERTIES and choose 2-sided printing. Same problem. This is obviously a PREVIEW problem.
Has anyone else run into this? In case I wasn't clear, the printer can do automatically duplexing (HP Laserjet P3005) and it duplexes beautifully if I don't send it through PREVIEW first.
