HP ENVY 4520 All-in-One Printer
macOS 10.14 Mojave

When I try to print double-sided, the second page always gets cut off because the printer prints "too early" and ends up shifting the whole page down by an inch. This only happens when I try to print double-sided with "Flip on the LONG edge" option. It prints fine and centered when I use "Flip on the SHORT edge" option, but that prints it upside-down for my purposes.

 

It seems to be an alignment issue, but I've tried re-aligning the printer, printing a quality diagnostic report, installing most recent drivers, and all possible solutions on my end, and still no luck.

Unfortunately, the issue still persists.

 

Like I mentioned in the original post, the problem only happens when printing double-sided using the "Flip on the long edge" option. When I print double-sided using "Flip on the short edge" nothing is cut off.
