Hi @Lori1993,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

Yes, you can print a PDF in mirror image from your HP printer. Here’s how to do it:

Method 1: Using Adobe Acrobat Reader

1. Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
2. Go to File > Print.
3. In the Print dialog, look for Properties or Preferences (this may vary depending on your printer).
4. In the printer settings, find the Effects tab (or a similar section).
5. Look for an option labeled Mirror Print or Print as Mirror and select it.
6. Click OK, then proceed to print your document.

Method 2: Using HP Smart App

1. Open the HP Smart app on your computer.
2. Select your printer and open the PDF you want to print.
3. Before printing, check the print settings for an option to print in a mirrored format (this may vary depending on the app version).
4. If available, enable the mirror image option, then print.

Method 3: Using Print Settings

1. Open the PDF in any PDF viewer.
2. Go to File > Print.
3. In the Print dialog, look for Advanced settings or Printer Preferences.
4. If your printer has a mirror printing option, enable it there.
5. Proceed to print.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.

Hello, I had HP Support on the phone Friday and it was determined that my HP Office Jet doesn’t have the option to “mirror” images.  I would like to see HP upgrade their printer driver/software to include the option to “mirror”

images and “scale” images in the printer preview screen. Having these options would make the printer more user friendly. Thank you for your time.

While your exact model is not listed, and this is only my suggestion as I have not tried this with this model of printer would be to try the HP Smart Universal Printer Driver.

Hello,

Thank you. I will definitely try this and let you know.

[Lori1993]

Ok thanks. I will definitely try this again to see if I can locate the “mirror” and “scaling” options in the print preview section.
