My printer is printing words backwords and I have no idea why and don't know what to do to fix it
It's a HP officejet J5750 All-in-One
And its weird cause I printed one page fine when I plugged it in and the rest are backwords

Have you checked to see what type of paper it is set to? It may be set to transparency. That is about the only time I can think of for backwards printing. That would be for pages you want displayed in an overhead projector.

[macman11393]

Where would I find that transparency setting if you could give me a idea on it

Usually when you print something a box pops up ? If it does that is your "print que" and it should show the printer your printing to and you can click the settings option for it. It should also have the information as to what paper it thinks it is using as well as print quality.

[macman11393]

I don't see transparent anywhere in there sorry and I see what you mean on the print que and I even checked the advance options and still not getting anywhere

Does it show the paper that you are suppose to be using? Like 8 1/2 X 11 or something along that line? Or photographic?

[macman11393]

It asks paper type which is only two options and its ether regular or bright white which I tried both and no help.. and I can't find a single thing on size

You may have to read the manual that came with it or look at their website. Im don't even know what kind of printer it is so Im making basic suggestions. Have you tried printing from other programs like notepad or do a print screen to see if that comes out correct?

[KISS]

Is it mirrored?

[macman11393]

Yea if I print of a web site or notepad it's the same but its not mirrored ether

[cdad]

What type of printer is this ?

Ah man it worked for a few pages and then went to backwards and then I tried to do the steps again and it won't go back to normal thanks though

Make sure that when you go to make changes you click apply and not just click OK. Also right after the change you might want to try a reboot of both printer and computer.
