HP Envy 5010
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Help please,  I recently bought an Envy 5010 and i love it BUT it does have a really weird problem which I'm hoping you guys can help me solve. 

 

If I am trying to print multiples of a document in Landscape, it will print the alternate copy in Portrait which makes every other copy useless.  So for example, if i want to print 20 copies of a newsletter I actually have to print 40 copies & throw the 20 printed as portrait away, Its such a wast of paper & ink or press the quick print button 20 times. 

 

Any ideas ????  

Thanks in advance 🙂

  • In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose ‘Delete’ or ‘Remove Device’ 
  • Open up the run command with the “Windows key + R” key combo. 
  • Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”)
