Why does my 'automatic' print preference print pages in reverse order Mac OSX..why is there an 'Automatic anyway, if you can't set it?

I want normal (forward...1,2,3,etc) printing  order to be 'Automatic'!!!

@majr4, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

Changing the paper handling settings might resolve the issue.

 

Let's try these steps:

Step 1: Open a document to print

 

Step 2: Go to File >Print

 

Step 3: Select the 'Show Details' menu.

 

            

 

Step 4: In the presets window, select the dropdown menu below 'Orientation'.

            

 

Step 4: Select 'Paper Handling' from the drop down.

            

In the 'Page Order' drop-down menu, you can either choose automatic, normal or reverse order.

 

Step 5: Choose normal. Click on print.

 

 

Let me know if it works.
