I use MTGPress.net for printing my proxies. When you want to print the backside of a card, you type in "1Back" to get the backside of a card. Then you just need to use your photo editing skills to line up the front face of the card with the back face. When you go to print, change the setting to "print on two sides"

Alternatively, the easier way. Print one side like you usually would, and then slip the proxy in a sleeve with a basic land. That way it also has the rigidness of a real card.

Do you have a printer that can print double sided?
My King Baby said yes!
I thought you'd never ask
Also, I always spell your name correctly, Red_Wurm.  :)

Please, it is Red

I have just updated our proxies page so that for double-sided cards it will now output both card images next to each other.

Of course that still won't allow you to print them double-sided directly but you can now cut both of them out and put them together into a sleeve.

I think that will be the easiest way to deal with cards like these, since actually printing a double-sided page in a way that the images end up at exactly the right position will get very complicated.
