Im not sure if you can, that would have to be set in the printer dialog and not excel as some printers might not have the ability to print on both sides:

But you can ofcource print it out as a PDF document, that it dosnt matter, as you can choose to print out on both sides afterwords in Adobe.

Im not sayinbg you shoud, but I dont think you can set it in excel. You'll have to set it in the printer dialog, and then the PrintOut function wont allow you to set it as far as I can see inb the documentation.
