Officejet 4500 is Printing Pages in Weird Order

I just bought and installed the Officejet 4500 wireless printer this weekend. Today, I tried to print two different PDF documents (didn't try any other formats and I'm out of paper), both times the documents were printed in the following order: Page 2, Page 1, Page 4, Page 3, Page 6, Page 5... This is the order from the top, with most recently printed on top. 

 

Is there some reason these are printing incorrectly? I have no desire to reorder my pages everytime I print something longer than 1 page (which is most of my use), so if I cannot resolve this, I will return the printer and purchase something else.

Hi keikochan3,

 

You can try the Printing Preference to do a print setting.

 

Change settings from an application for current jobs (Windows)

To change the settings

1. Open the document that you want to print.

2. On the File menu, click Print, and then click Setup, Properties, or Preferences.

(Specific options may vary depending on the application that you are using.)

3. Change the settings that you want, and then click OK, Print, or a similar command.

 

Change default settings for all future jobs (Windows)

To change the settings

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers or Printers and Faxes.

- Or -

Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Printers.

2. Right-click the printer icon, and then click Properties, Document Defaults, or Printing Preferences

3. Change the settings that you want, and then click OK.

Re: Officejet 4500 is Printing Pages in Weird Order

I have been all through the printer properties and have seen nothing that would change the print order. If you have information about what property to change, that would be useful... but I can't see what it is. This is very frustrating, but thankfully, I saved the box to return it.
