You can do it, but you need to use both the Print and Mailmerge 
dialogues.

In Print, select just page 1. Click Set to make the setting 
remembered. Close Print.
Open Mailmerge, add the csv file, click Set, then click Print.

For the second side, use the Print dialog, and select page 2, click 
Set.
Use mailmerge, click Print.

The important, and not necessarily obvious bit, is the Set buttons.
