Printing on wrong side of paper
Word 2007 prints documents on opposite side of paper than other applications.
ie - Notepad or previous versions of word. Problematic for loading Letterhead etc in paper trays for other users. How can Word 2007 be told to print on the opposite side of the paper. The print driver is apparently being used incorrectly by word. |

Printing on wrong side of paper
Can you clarify what you mean by "opposite side"?

Printing on wrong side of paper
Yes, we typically load the printer (Ricoh Aficio CL7200) paper trays with
various types of paper; Letterhead in this case which is usually loaded face down in the tray so the text prints on the correct side of the paper. After installing the new version of Office (2007), Word 'expects' the paper to have been loaded face up in the tray. I can't simply load the paper differently since many in the office use other applications etc. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Can you clarify what you mean by "opposite side"? -- Suzanne S.

Printing on wrong side of paper
That's what it sounded like and what I was afraid of. There is no way this
can be a Word issue; the printer mechanics alone decide how the paper is printed. If you are duplexing, is it possible that you have a blank first page? -- Suzanne S.

Printing on wrong side of paper
This is definately 'related' to Word 2007. As I mentioned all other print
capable programs including Notepad & Word 2003 printed as expected. I upgraded 2 PCs to Office 2007 and both are printing differently. It might be related to the Print driver associated with the printer (PCL vs RPCS) but I'm not sure. Unfortunately I didn't want to upgrade all PCs at this time to the latest Office. I do appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: That's what it sounded like and what I was afraid of.

Printing on wrong side of paper
Suzanne,
Your last reply made me want to run a test. Although the document was only 1 page the duplex option was on. I turned off the option and it printed on the other side of the page. This is an acceptable workaround. Thanks for your help! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: That's what it sounded like and what I was afraid of.
