Boklet printing on 8135e AIO

[RealGomer]

I used the suggested answer at https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Errors-or-Lights-Stuck-Print-Jobs/Cannot-print-booklets/m-p/9... and thought it would work to print booklets. Nope. On a four page documents, page 1 & 3 are right side up and pages 2 & 4 are upside down. What am I missing?

The original document was created in word 2016 and then exported to Acrobat Reader 2025.001.20756.

@RealGomer, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

It appears that you are experiencing issues with printing a booklet correctly, where pages are not aligning as expected. Here are some steps you can try to ensure the booklet is printed correctly:

Check Print Settings in Acrobat Reader:

• Open your document in Acrobat Reader.
• Go to "File" > "Print".
• In the Print dialog, select your HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e as the printer.
• Under "Page Sizing & Handling", select "Booklet".
• Ensure "Booklet Subset" is set to "Both sides".
• Choose "Binding" as "Left" for right-side-up orientations on both sides.
• Check "Auto portrait/landscape" for optimal orientation settings.

Check Page Orientation:

• Double-check the original Word document's layout settings.
• Make sure all pages are uniformly oriented (either all portrait or all landscape).

Printer Driver Settings:

• Open the printer properties through Windows.
• Confirm that the duplex printing settings match those in Acrobat.
• Ensure that any print setting like "Flip on Long Edge" or "Flip on Short Edge" matches booklet printing which usually needs "Flip on Short Edge".

Preview in Print Dialog:

• Use the print preview to verify the layout before printing. This will allow you to see any misalignment in advance.

Update Printer Firmware and Software:

• Make sure your printer's firmware is up-to-date. Visit the HP Support site for firmware updates.
• Update Acrobat Reader or Word if there's a newer version available.

Manual Page Setup:

• If automatic settings don’t align properly, you may need to manually set up a custom page size or manually reorder the pages in the Print dialog.

I hope this helps.
