I always print on 3-hole punch paper.  When I print a single-sided document the holes are correctly on the left side of the paper.  However, if I print a two-sided document, the holes are on the incorrect, right side of the first page.  After much research I haven't found a way to remedy this problem in printer properties, etc.  This seems like it should be a simple problem to fix and I'm not interested in having to use a manual hole punch each time I print.  I appreciate your help!

Which application do you print from (Word, PDF ... ) ? From properties, you have an option to keep the setup as default and you can use default all the way, no need to set up again and again.

It happens with every application - Word, Excel, pdf, etc.  And, I don't believe it has anything to do with the setup.  If I click on Printer Properties, there are no options to change the order the pages are printed in, etc.
