When printing double sided side 1 is ok but side 2 upside down. What causes this to happen?  It didn't happen until now. :Crying:

Finally got printer working properly: (1) uninstalled the Envy HL 4520 printer from my Windows 7 notebook (2) ran CCleaner to remove temporary files (3) updated the operating system (4) shutdown the system and restarted with the printer connected to the notebook with a USB cable (5)  it took 1/2 hour to find drivers to work with latest version of Windows 7 (6) printed Test page  successfully (7) then printed 3 page double sided document successfully.   

 

Think the problem was solved when I updated the operating system  and then searched for the correct driver.
