Hello, I recently bought an HP laserjet printer to use for printing labels, but whenever we put the paper in it will randomly flip the paper around and print on the back side of the label paper. I can't find any settings on my mac that would cause it to be printing like this. Please help!

Sounds like you have automatic duplex turned on. When duplexing it prints page 2 first and then page 1 which matches the symptoms you describe. Newer printers can be set to duplex all print jobs. However if you select label as the paper type for a job should override the automatic duplex, but if you leave the paper type setting on the print job as plain paper it will try to duplex.
