Pages always prints envelopes upside down

When using Pages to print envelopes, my HP laserjet always prints the envelope upside down. Apple and HP indicate I shoudl feed the envelopes with the top to the right. This works properly with everyother piece of software I have used
I know, when I use Pages I could just change the orientation of the envelope in the envelope feed slot, or check "reverse page orientation" in the Print dialog (so the envelope is upside down in the print preview.) But I'd prefer not to have to remember random procedures to accomodate software malfunctions. Is there some preference I can set in Pages (or something) to fix this so it works correctly?
PS.I hate to post this as a question, but the Apple Support Communities (SW platform, not the people ) has sort of forces this.
Why in the world does it present "Ask a question" as the main option. Initially I skipped that, but the community search funcion really *****. Searching is incredibly non-intuitive and poorly targeted (If I'm in the pages section why is it giving me totally unrelated results from unrelated sections?
Get on the ball Apple. You broke the "Support Communities" website and the OS X built in "Help Center" years ago, and still haven''t fixed them.
Thank God for all the helpful Mac users out there, because Apple's help and support efforts (Help platforms, manuals, etc.) seem to have fallen by the wayside.

Hi John,
No help on your actual question, but some comments on the search function here.
Search offers the choice of limiting the searsch to a specific community/forum when the first results are presented. You can also limit the search to a specific user.
The basic search is a keyword search, and turns up any post that has that keyword in it (with some weighting added by then software). Searches search for "Any" of the terms included in the query unless you limit the results using commands such as AND or NEAR. Not all that intuitive, I'll agree.
One other feature of the ASC site is the 'related' topics list, "More Like This," that appears after you've submitted a query. You'll find the list to the right of the message(s) in the community. A click opn the (green) checked items will often provide a solution to your(well described) issue.
None marked 'solved' on the list at this time, but some worth exploring for hints or a solution.
Regards,
Barry

Images of signatures,Test form layout printed as upside down & as mirror im

Hi All,
The images of signatures and the test form Layout images are printed as upside down mirror images.
This is happening after upgrade. What could be the problem? this is happening while printing notifications.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Thanks & regards,

Hi,
Take a look at SAP note #683605. Usually this is a problem of the printer driver at windows level if you use a windows device type like SAPWIN or SWINCF in SAP. If the printer is a HP PCL printer, try creating a spool and print via a PCL device type like e.g. HPLJ4000. The problem should not happen in this case. But the solution is a corrected windows printer driver as per note #683605.

When I open an ap or a safari page the screen tips upside down. The screen doesn't automatically move to fit the direction the ipad is sitting

I have an I-pad retina. Starting yesterday I noticed when playing a podcast video I could only view it with the screen in rectangular mode instead of the horizontal. Starting today when I open an app or a page in Safari the screen tips upside down. In other words, it doesn't follow the direction in which I'm looking at the screen, I'm constantly having to make the adjustment myself. How can this be fixed?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Duplex Printing - Page 2 upside down

I can duplex print, but the even number pages (second side printed) are upside down. Also, my properties tab options do not match the manual's description, so I'm not sure if I'm setting it up properly

Hi shell75,
I would like to help you with this issue of page 2 printing upside down. Make sure that your Firmware is up to date.
Then follow these steps in the User Guide on duplex printing.
Print on both sides (duplexing)
You can print on both sides of a sheet of media automatically by using the HP
Automatic Two-sided Printing Accessory (duplexer).
NOTE: Two-sided printing requires an HP Automatic Two-sided Printing
Accessory (duplexer) to be installed on the printer.
TIP: You can perform manual duplexing by first printing only the odd pages,
flipping the pages over, and then printing only the even pages.
Perform two-sided printing (Windows)
1. Load the appropriate media. For more information, see Guidelines for printing on
both sides of a page and Load media.
2. Make sure the duplexer is installed correctly. For more information, see Install the
duplexer.
3. With a document open, click Print on the File menu, and then under the Print on
Both Sides options on the Layout tab, select either Flip on Long Edge or Flip on
Short Edge.
4. Change any other settings, and then click OK.
5. Print your document.
Depending on which flip you choose will determine how it prints on page 2.
Let me know how it goes or if you need any further help.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

Printing upside down

Hi guys. I've got an HP LaserJet 600 M603. It has started printing pages with the data upside down. Instead of picking the page up from the tray after printing, and the start of the page being at the top, it's placing the start of the page and information at the bottom, upside-down.
When I do a factory reset, it will correct the issue for a time, but it then reverts back within an hour or so.
I researched and found some information regarding a firmware upgrade for a different model printer that stated is was the PJL Density command that was causing the data on the page to print upside-down and it was the fix for it.
Not sure if an upgrade to the firmware is what I need, nor do I know how to peform this. Any advice?
Firmware Revision: 2200643_228341

There is a firmware update from 31 July 2014, version 2302963_436082 available for download from HP here. Be sure to read the "Readme" file in the file here for installation instructions. The installation instructions are near the end, starting about page 29. It does appear some of the updates involved fixes for mirrored or inverted text.

When taking a picture with IPad. Camera my recipients always receive the photo upside down. WHY?

When taking a photo with my IPad, then sending it, my recipients always the phot upside down. WHY? Help Please.

I think that this is a philosophical question. I, for one, hold my iPad in landscape mode with the Home button on the right-hand side and in portrait mode the Home button is on the bottom.
Anyway, you're welcome!

When I eprint a picture from my blackberry, it always prints two pages.

I have the hp photosmart 5512. When I eprint a photo from my blackberry, a second page always prints, stating that it was sent via at&t blackberry. I would love to avoid wasting a sheet of photo paper for each picture printed. Is there a setting where I can fix this? Is it something on my phone?

Hello kbock.
This is something to be resolved at your Blackberry e-mail application settings, which I don't have to help you further.

C4780 problem printing envelopes

My HP Photosmaret C4780 is having a problem printing envelopes correctly.
What happens is that the print is shifted left about half an inch, cutting off the first part of the return address.
To test things, I've cut plain paper to the same size as the envelope (in this case #10 4.1 x 9.5 inches) and that prints fine so I'm thinking it has something to do with envelope thickness and the printer not taking up the paper correctely.
Is there an envelope setting I'm missing in the driver? A paper thickness setting?
thanks,
rod

Thanks for the reply. I'm still having problems with these particular envelopes, but I have made some interesting discoveries.
first, the envelopes I'm using have a peel and seal strip, which makes that part under the flap a little thicker. So I tried a regular lick 'em stick 'em envelope of the same size and it printed fine.
I tried tucking the flap as you suggested and the problem still persisted. The real strange thing is that if I load the envelope upside down, so that it will print on the flap side, the envelope prints correctly.
If I load the envelope so that it will print on the correct side (the non-flap side) but I revererse the envelope so that the flap is facing right rather than left, I have the same printing problems.
So it seems that having the flap up (with these peel and seal envelopes) is where the problem comes from whether the flap is out or tucked it.
So I guess I'll just switch to regular envelopes rather than the peel and seal kind.
thanks again

Why are all pictures I take on my iPhone 4s upside down when received in an email?

Always the pictures download upside down whenever it's emailed. In my camera roll they are straight or right side up and also it's right side up in another iOS device but when I download it from my pc it's always sideways or upside down.

It's always right side up if the picture is in a text message or opened in an email in an iOS device. However in my case like using a laptop to open some mail the pictures I've taken from my iPhone is always upside down or sideways. If I then try to rotate it, for some pictures my computer will give an error message that the picture can't be saved with the changes because of something about the file properties. It is possible that it's my computer but if you have a pc and an iPhone try it.
Also if I edit the pictures in iPhoto using my iPhone the pictures opened in my pc is always right side up with no problems. Or if I import the pictures using the windows photo application most of the time the pictures will import correctly but like in my case a few nights ago some pictures were upside down and sideways and could not be saved after rotating it.

Adobe Reader - Scanned document upside down

I have scanned a letter (two pages) and the second page is showing as upside down, however the first page is the correct way up. I have tried rotating the document, but it only allows me to rotate both at the same time. Leaving me still with either the 2nd or 1st page the wrong way up. Any help would be great.
Thanks.

You cannot rotate a document with Adobe Reader.
You can only rotate the view, that is something which affects all
pages in the currently open document. To actually rotate pages you'd
need Acrobat.

InDesign CS5 - Printing, only first page is upside down.

Strange problem.
I have a multipage document that has threaded text on pages 2-10 (for example). When I print (duplex or not), the first page (cover page of the manual I writing) is upside down!
It shows correctly in indesign, as well as when I export it to a PDF and print it.
The printer i'm using is a Ricoh Aficio MP C4000 PS.
Our IT group at work says it's an indesign issue! I have had it successfully print on other printers, and I've tried everything I can think of on this printer.
HELP!

In my experience, when an IT department can't figure things out, it's always the application's fault (or "those stinkin' Macs").
I'm pretty sure its a Ricoh thing. I do duplex booklet printing from Acrobat 9 (from a PDF file exported from InDesign CS5) to a Ricoh 5560. I often get the same problem. I find toggling the "Auto Rotate Pages" button in the print dialog on and off will fix it for me. There's no sense to it. If it first prints upside down, click the button and print again and it will work. But the next time you go to print with that setting, it will be upside down again. Click the button off, and it will work. I've given up trying to troubleshoot it.

I have a LaserJet Pro P1606dn - the second page prints upside down when using the duplex print optio

Operating system Windows 7 32 bit. I have re-installed the printer an I have downloaded and applied the most recent drivers from the HP site. The built in set-up shows the settings correctly as duplex on and bind on the long edge but the second page continues to print upside down i.e. it seems to always print as binding on the top edge.
However when I print from my iPad via Airprint the duplex print works perfectly!

IF you are using a printer with 2-sided printing, in the expanded print dialog you will have a selection for long-edge binding OR short-edge binding. Whichever setting you have set, switch to the other one.
