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.

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.
