Hi,

How do you get the printer to reverse print in the middle of a job?

 

I would like to print a long pdf so I can can put it in a 3 ring binder in landscape mode with page 1 &2 on the first page, then 3 & 4 upside down and on the back of 1 & 2, so when I hold the 3 ring binder in landscape mode I can read 2 pages on front, then back, then front.

 

My printer, a LaserJet Pro 402 doesn't print on both sides, but supports manual printing on the back. I've searched and tried, but if I simply flip the pages over,  it prints 1 & 2, 5 & 6, etc, correctly on the front pages, but when it goes to print the back pages, it puts 3&4 on the last pages to print instead of the first pages. I need it to print in reverse order for the back pages since the high numbered pages are at the top of the stack when I flip.
