hi

i just purchased the photosmart plus b210. i am trying to do reverse printing for my heat transfers. there is no option for reverse or mirror image on the printer setting. i even tried to print using the heat transfer paper option thinking it would mirror image automatically.

 

does anyone know what i need to do to get my paper to print reverse?

I had the same problem... but there is a way to work around it.  Go to MS word.  Copy and paste the picture into ms word, or "insert" from menu.  Then under format, go to "ROTATE."  Drop down menu to "FLIP HORIZONTAL."  VOILA.  I hope this helps.  Very frustrating that the printer will not allow such a basic command.

How do you set the HP Photosmart B210e printer to print in mirror image? Or can you?

I just bought the B210 Photosmart Plus printer and was wanting to do the mirror image and couldn't figure it out either.  I phoned HP and they said that on New HP Printers the mirror image is no longer an option with their New Printers.  So I just bought a printer that doesn't do what I want it to do!  Won't buy HP any longer!

I already disliked this printer and am sorry I purchased it.  Now I find it won't print the transfers I need.  HP scores again!

What printer model? What operating system? What program are you printing from?

 

Generally this function would be found in the program you are using to print the transfers.

 

If it is a B209 or B210 model then likely the C309a driver would provide the functionality you want.  Install the c309a driver on the same port as your current printer, you could then select Mirror Image as an option.

I solved the problem by printing the page, scanning it and reversing it in Adobe.
