Flipping printer not flipping on the long side

baggybreeks88 · ‎02-23-2025

When I am trying to print two sided documents, the printer always prints with the document flipping on the short edge. All settings checked and double checked, system restarted, printer restarted, still the same. Really fed up with it

Hi @baggybreeks88,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your HP printer is not printing double-sided correctly, with the paper flipping on the short edges instead of the long edges, the issue likely lies with incorrect settings in your printer driver, where the paper feed direction might be set incorrectly; check your printer settings.

1. Access Printer Settings: Open your document, go to "Print" settings, then select your HP printer.

2. Find Paper Feed Option: Navigate to the "Paper Handling" or "Layout" tab in your printer settings.

3. Select Long Edge: Ensure the "Paper Feed" option is set to "Long Edge".
