Hp Printer Prints Mirror Image From Vista Laptop

XPSP2 Home desktop with HP6540 printer connected by USB.
Toshiba Laptop with Vista Home Prem. SP1.
Computers are connected through Linksys WRT54GL router.

Laptop recognizes printer and prints. Only problem is you have to have a mirror to read. If you hold up to light and look through back side you can read it. This is just plain text. Install driver for printer on laptop, no difference. It's like it wants to print on the wrong side of the printer. Anyone every seen this before or have cure?

Go into the printer properties and make sure it is not set to mirror image.

This feature is used to print iron ons for t-shirts.

Re: Hp Printer Prints Mirror Image From Vista Laptop

Mirror image is unchecked. Printing software is installed on XP machine and is shared by Vista laptop. Nothing in properties to indicate why the laptop would print mirror. I installed the driver on laptop that was included with Vista. HP doesn't list any other driver on their website. Ay more ideas.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Hp Printer Prints Mirror Image From Vista Laptop

Sounds like a issue with the driver, but I did not see any updated Vista drivers for this model. Maybe someone else will know the answer.

Re: Hp Printer Prints Mirror Image From Vista Laptop

Hi, I had the same problem; my printer was set up as a network printer and though it printed fine for a few months, it started printing mirror image one day and I was unable to access printer preferences too. I spent 2 hours with tech support at hp (my laptop and printer were both hp) with no success. Then I found a tip on another forum. Try adding a new printer to your laptop and get the path to your network printer (example: \\mysys\printer1). Then choose add local printer printer and specify this address. Miraculously, my laptop found this printer and printed perfectly; I was able to access printer preferences and everything. Hope this works for you too!
