Print to A5 booklet on XP with RICOH multifunction printer

[meglome]

Going back I talked a friend of mine into using Filemaker instead of Excel for their database/accounts needs, which worked out really well up to now. But they have a catalogue printing from Excel, A4 size by default, to an A5 booklet using the print driver that comes with their RICOH printer/copier on Win XP SP2.. There is a setting in the print settings to create a booklet, all very simple. But I can't get it to do the same in Filemaker 7. The best I can get it to do in Filemaker is to print A4 double sided (I have the latest driver). SO... Is there a way to do this?? OR… Can I just lay it out as A5 and print a booklet another way??

I've dug a hole for myself here so your help would be much appreciated.

Are you using the exact same printer driver and printer?

As I mentioned it works perfectly in Excel, just can't get it to work in Filemaker 7. In Excel it's just information listed down the sheet with a page setup of A4 size and when we select the booklet mode in the printer driver we get it printed 2xA5 pages on each side of the A4 sheet. So the finished print once folded in half is a properly ordered booklet. Any ideas how to do this in Filemaker?
