Printing Mirror Image with 9.x

I have an issue which others have also reported: ANY pdf printed from Adobe Reader 9.x prints as a mirror image!!! This is NOT a printer driver problem.
Information: I have 4 computers on a network and a network printer supporting them (HP Officejet L7680). I had Adobe Reader v8.x on all 4 machines - 3 Windows XP, 1 Vista64. All printing/viewing was normal.
I decided to upgrade my Vista64 machine to Adobe 9.x (currently v9.2). That was a mistake. Now, every pdf printed from that machine prints as a mirror image of the pdf. I do not see any kind of printer option under Adobe or my printer to print as a mirror image.
So, 3 Windows XP machines with Adobe 8.x print fine; 1 Vista64 machine with Adobe 8.x printed fine; 1 Vista64 machine upgraded to Adobe 9.x does NOT print correctly.
This problem has cropped up with enough frequency that there is some sort of Adobe 9.x problem. A quick internet search will show the extent of this issue.
Any solutions? (Otherwise, my thoughts are to delete 9.x and find 8.x.)
Ken

Update: 9.x is STILL broken. I have deleted 9.x and downgraded back to 8.x. Using 8.x all the printing is normal.
Since this mirror image printing issue is NOT isolated to a single user, but rather, based on the number of complaints about mirror image printing found on the internet, a prevalant problem, how about ADDRESSING it?

Hi pintu777,
I see that you just got an ExportPDF subscription. That shouldn't have any affect on the way that your PDF files are printing. Has anything else changed on your system? What are you printing to and from (Reader or Acrobat)? Do other types of files print mirrored as well?
I look forward to hearing back from you with a few more details. We'll get this sorted out.
Best,
Sara

Printing Mirror Image

I had to uninstall my printer and reinstalled it. It has a different properties screen now and will not let me print mirror image anymore.

Hello @angelaw72,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that since reinstalling your HP Photosmart 6525 e-All-in-One Printer on your Windows Vista computer that your printing preference options have changed and you no longer have a 'mirror image' option. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue.
Now I did some research into the HP Photosmart driver and found that the 'mirror image' option you use actually isn't built into this driver package. In saying that, this is still an option you can get. You may have previously had the mirror image option if you had a generic print driver installed for your HP Photosmart. To regain the 'mirror image' capabilities, please follow the steps below.
How To Add An Alternate Driver:
Click on your Start menu
Select Devices and Printers (or just Printers)
In the Devices and Printers folder right click on your HP Photosmart 6525 and left click on Printer Properties
Left click on the Advanced tab
Left click on New Driver
When the New Driver window opens just hit 'next' until you see a list of Manufacturers on the left and a list of Printers on the right.
Select HP as the Manufacturer on the left
Select Deskjet 9800 as the printer on the right. If Deskjet 9800 doesn't appear than select 'Windows Update' on the bottom left and once the update completes you will be able to select Deskjet 9800.
After selecting Deskjet 9800 hit next to complete the New Driver Wizard
Under the Printer Properties window select 'Apply' but don't hit OK
Select the General tab
Rename your printer back to HP Photosmart 6525
Hit OK
Lastly, right click on your HP Photosmart 6525 one more time and left click on Printing Preferences
Left click on the Paper/Quality tab
Left click on the 'Normal' dropdown for Print Quality on the bottom right and change this to Fast Normal
Click on the Finishing tab at the top and check the box for Mirror Image on the bottom right hand side
Hit Apply and OK
Now please try to print to ensure that the updated driver is functioning properly for you.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you!

How can you print mirror image from word 2010 on the HP Photosmart c310 printer

Trying to print mirror image from Microsoft 2010 on a windows 7 computer to the HP Photosmart C310 printer. Can not find an option. Please advise.

Judith
Perhaps you can enlighten us as to what "does not print correctly" actually means.
Miss-spells your name? or what?
How have you set up your Page set-up?
It has to agree with how you are feeding the envelope in and what printer driver you are using.

I have tried creating the profile again and still get the same problem. The problem is machine based and not user based.
Hi GG1234,
If you recreated the Outlook profile and still got the same problem, please try to recreate the Windows Profile:
Log on to client using local admin account->rename the profile folder under c:\users.
By the way, did you try to print the mails in OWA?

Officejet 7500A...how do I print mirror image?

how do I print mirror image on officejet 7500A?

HI,
Not sure if its in the driver, most brands a removing these options from the driver (or not including them anymore) because of the fact that most picture software programs have these options built in themselves. For example in the standard windows program paint, the option Flip horizontaly will allow you to print a mirror image..

How to stop printing mirror image in word 2008

Hello,
Since yesterday, I have had occasional problems: documents are printed with the text in mirror image and last night a word document saved as a pdf file also had the text reversed. When I saved the same document as pdf a second time, it was fine.
I can't find an answer in the usergroups and it does not happen every time.
Apple tech support said that they had never heard of this problem and it had something to do with a "mirror image" command in word, but I can't find any information about such a command in word 2008.
thank you,
Cynthia

the Preview.app has an option to Flip Horizontal.

Hp office jet 6500 how to print mirror images

How do I create a mirror image for text to print on a tshirt transfer paper? I can do it with my old printer but I can't find the area were I would click Mirror Image for this printer.

Hi @adamjoshme ,
I understand that you want to know how to print a mirror image. I would like to help you out with this issue today.
This feature might not be available with this model. You would have to check the printer preferences, in the Advanced section for Mirror Image and turn it on from there if it is available. I checked the manual and it didn't show this feature.
If you don't have that option in the driver then use Paint, Under Rotate select Rotate 180 degree's and then under Rotate select flip horizontally.
Hope this helps.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

Printing Mirror Image on HP Officejet 6600 All In One

Trying to print an Avery (Microsoft) T-Shirt Template. I am running 64bit Windows 8.1. I have tried everything to access Mirror Image on my Printer but I cannot find Mirror Image anywhere. After I click on PROPERTIES I am only shown"Lay Out' & "Paper Quality". When I click on "ADVANCE SETTINGS" in "LAYOUT" there is "PRINTER FEATURES" This only shows "Print in Grayscale"; "Resolution"; Output Quality": HP Realife Technologies"; Borderless Printing" & " Print all Text as Black.. I have been trying for the last 7 hours to try and figure this out. Hopefully someone can come up with a solution. My warranty ran out 2 months ago so HP Support wasn't very supportive.

Hi,
Pleae try the following instructions:

Other option using Word:

My suggestion: flip image before print. You can use a photo editor to flip images.

Duplex Printing Mirror Image

We have just purchased this machine.When printing any PDF document and choosing 'flip on long end', the flipside prints in mirror image.If seleting 'flip up' it prints correctly but with pages up and down.I need a solution - it's a real problem for our business.

The first step would be to try to establish whether the underlying problem is due to a printer firmware fault, or a (Windows?) printer driver fault: Capture a small, sanitised data, 'good' ('flip up') print job to a nominated .prn file, by selecting the 'print to file' option in the Print dialogue.Capture a 'bad' ('flip on long end') print job (of the same source document) to a different nominated .prn file.Compare and analyse the two files to try to determine if there are minor or major differences.If the printer driver is PCL5 or PCL6, you can analyse the files using the PRN File Analyse tool in the PCL Paraphernalia application, available via http://www.pclparaphernalia.euSuch analysis should tell you what the printer is being instructed to do.

IE11 Printing Mirror Image for PDFs

Hello experts!
I recently installed Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.05) on my Win7 x64 PC. Install went well and everything seems to work fine. I can open a PDF in a browser window without issues (IE 11.0.9600.16474, Update Versions 11.0.2). HOWEVER when I try to print this PDF to my printer (HP Officejet Pro L7600), a mirror image of the document is printed. I have not been able to find the setting to change this. This happens for ALL PDFs.
For whatever reason, if I save the PDF to my desktop, open it in Acrobat and print it, prints just fine.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
MW

FYI-
Just got off the phone with HP support and was told "This print does not have the feature." WHAT !??!!?!?!? Every other printer i've owned has had that "Feature". It's a matter of programming. Had I known in the days I spent debating if I should get another HP or to switch to another brand , I would have switched!!! Considering my wireless went out in my last HP printer c3910( in just over a year and out of warranty, mind you) and my scanner going bad in the one before that. Lesson learned. I'm done with HP.

How do I print mirror image

Print mirror image on HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series

I have the HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series and am wondering if it is capable of printing a mirror image? I am trying to do an iron transfer to tanktops and need the image flipped.
I called the HP Support number, the printer is out of warranty and of course they said they could help me for $25 - when asked what they would do for that they wouldn't say.
I'm sure it can print a mirror image, this baby can do anything, so I really don't want to pay the money and then have them show me the button I'm supposed to push.
I've checked in printer properties and everywhere and can't seem to figure it out. Please help!

Hi,
Please use the following instruction:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=bpu02032&lc=en&product=61561
Other option: using other tool(s) to flip the image BEFORE print. If images/photos, you can flip before hand:
