I have previously made small booklets out of A5 paper and double sided printing but suddenly my printer is giving me warnings that it won't use two choices at the same time. There was a choice which said "print anyway" which I used but the back side page came out opposite way up to the first one. How can I rectify this.

 

Actually CAN I rectify this?
