Hi @RobCollett 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

Thanks for flagging that—it’s definitely frustrating when your double-sided prints come out flipped the wrong way. Let’s get that sorted so your pages line up just right. 😊

🔄 Why It Happens

This usually comes down to how the printer flips the paper internally. If the wrong edge is selected for flipping, the second side can print upside down.

🛠️ Steps to Fix Upside-Down Duplex Printing

Open the Print Dialog

• From your document, press Ctrl + P or go to File > Print.

Access Printer Properties or Preferences

• Click Printer Properties, Preferences, or More Settings (wording may vary depending on the app).

Find the Duplex Setting

• Look for an option like “Print on both sides”, “Two-sided printing”, or “Duplex printing”.

Choose the Correct Flip Option

• Set it to “Flip on long edge” for portrait documents.
• Use “Flip on short edge” for landscape documents.

Apply and Print

• Save the settings and try printing a test page to confirm the orientation.

Let me know how it goes or if you’d like help walking through the settings in a specific app like Word or Adobe Reader. We’ll get those pages flipping the right way! 📄✨
