printing 2 sided [solved]

[tbrownarcher2]

I'm using linux mint 16 cinnamon
hp officejet pro 8600

I hope i'm in the right spot for this question.

I have an hp officejet pro 8600 printer. I'm using it wirelessly.
I guess i don't know how to set it up .

when I tell it to print on both sides it prints the 2 sides with the top of the page at different ends of the paper .... To read the second page I have to flip the page end for end instead of side to side.

I hope i explained it well enough. Can anyone help with this

Thanks,
Nate

On my Brother 7060D, there is a setting during printing where, after I select duplex printing (printing on both sides of the paper), I can select whether the paper is flipped left-to-right or end-to-end before the second page on the paper is printed, but that is going to depend on the paper handling capability of your printer.

my printer asks me that before I print not during. I selected end to end . but OH maybe that's it ....

thanks,
Nate

That was exactly it ... why did i not realize that when i set it. ANYHOW your advice turns out to be the trick.

Thank you very much,
