[David5169]

I am trying to print a table in landscape. Currently the top of the table prints to the right. I need the top of the table to print to the left. What setting do I need to change to accomplish this? Officejet pro 8600 N911a

Thank you,

Hi @David5169

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the  "printing tables" issue. 

To Better assist- What's the application you are trying to print from? Have you tried printing from a different application or device? 

Meanwhile, Open the print settings window

Launch the HP print driver window from common Windows applications and learn how to navigate the different tabs and menus.

1. Open the document or photo on your computer, click File or the menu icon , then click Print.

   A Print or Print Pictures window or pane opens with general print job settings, including the menu to select the printer you want to print to.

2. Open Document Properties or Printing Preferences from the main print window or pane to access the HP print driver settings. The button or link name varies depending on the app you are printing from.

   • Microsoft Word: Click Printer Properties

   • Paint and WordPad: Click Preferences

   • Windows Photo Viewer: Click Options... in the lower right corner of the screen, then click Printer Properties... in the Print Settings window

   • Adobe PDF Reader: Click Properties

3. To view the different settings, click the tabs along the top of the window. To access more settings, click the Advanced button that is often located on the Layout tab.

   Figure : Example of a printer Document Properties window

   

4. If a Printing Shortcut tab is available, click it to use shortcuts that already have essential settings already selected for common print job types. You may also create your own custom shortcut for future print jobs.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hi Jay,

I think I/we (wife) tried that over and over. Printing from Microsoft Word.

Here's the full scenario: We are trying to print out her PhD dissertation. She has many pages in portrait with some pages in landscape included. In her document formatting, she has included instructions to change the printer from portrait to landscape while printing. This works fine.

The issue is the landscape copy that is printed out has it's page header on the right edge, so the bottom of the table would be at the binding side. This means that when you read the document, you have to rotate it 180 degrees. 

She needs the header of the table to be toward the binding edge. (on the left side edge)

Our procedure to print:

Select print from Document file menu, Selected "Printer Properties" for the Officejet pro 8600, changed "layout" to landscape, then went to "advanced"settings where we tried all of the options in the 'Pages per sheet layout" selection. selected Ok,  selected Ok. Then Print.

Nothing we have tried will change the orientation of the landscape pages.

I think we have the most current printer drivers, but not exactly sure how to verify,

We have shut down printer and restarted with no effect.

Any additional ideas?

Thanks

Have you tried a different application?

try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware 

And use windows built-in drivers-Installing and Using the Windows Built-in Print Driver

Keep me posted!
