Mirror Image - reverse printing?

[art4lynn]

Hi,

I have an HP Envy 5660 printer and I can't figure out how to print something in mirror image.

I have an HP Envy 5660 printer and I can't figure out how to print something in mirror image.  I've followed some internet suggestions; control panel, right click printer, ......but there isn't a tab to reverse print.

I'm two hours into this problem already and would truly appreciate your solution. 🙂

THANKS!

Hello again,

I am using windows. The printer is an HP Envy 5660.

When I click on PRINT I get a drop down with one tab to click on-PROPERTIES.

When I click on that I get a drop down with different choices. They are...

*Two Sided

*Borderless

*with white borders

*economical printing

*Factory defaults

There is no Mirror image or reverse printing tab.

I don't have MSN word so I can't write anything there and reverse the print. I have even tried writing in photoshop to no avail. 😞

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi! @art4lynn, I am the MrRobot. It looks like you were interacting with @DavidSMP, but he is out of the office today so I'll take over from here.

Thanks for your response and time.

Also, thanks for sharing the details.

The quickest and easy way to print mirror images is to just flip them. This way,  you can print on any printer.

I suggest that you scan your image and save it and then open the image in Microsoft Paint.  In the Paint program, you can then flip the image (mirror) so that it gives you the reversed view.

Refer this article to know more information about Mirror Image Printing.

Hope this answers your query!

Cheers! 🙂

Good morning!

Thanks so much for your help! I followed your suggestion and scanned my project, saved it in docs and then opened it in Paint. From there it was as easy as pushing a button to reverse the type!

Major kudos for an easy to follow solution to a problem that had me totally stumped.

Also a grateful "thank you" for your quick reply!
