Print in reverse order

[116n]

I cannot get my work printer to print in reverse order. My first page is always at the bottom. I was unable to locate a setting in the display screen, or on the app with my computer.

Use Printing Preferences to adjust the settings.

Set the Preferences – Windows

I don't know what settings those are. This is what I have when I go to "Printers and Scanners" -> "Printing Preferences" -> "Advanced".

The HP Smart app is just as useless. 

Yes I have the full drivers installed. I just tried that for the third time.

Your posted image shows Microsoft IPP drivers.

This is not the Full Feature Software.

So, sure - the setup, shortcuts, and options are limited to what the Windows drivers support.
