Smart Tank 7000 always flips my printouts

[asbruff]

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing an annoying problem with my HP Smart Tank 7000 printer.

The printer supports the duplex and I set it in my applications settings (I tried with evince, Adobe reader, libreoffice, firefox, whatever).

The problem is that the file is printed on both sides, but the second side is flipped. I always toggle the flag "flip on the long side", but I've made a try on "flip on the short side" and the result is the same.

In the printer settings I don't see any option that forces the short side instead of the long one.

Same behavior on laptop, desktop (both Linux and Windows) or android. Idk, I have no more ideas.

Anyone has experienced the same problem as mine?
