Canon ip4500 - print order

MisterShed · 09-06-2008, 04:38 AM

Just got a Canon ip4500, and all I want it to do is print a single copy in the correct order, title page on top, so I don't have to re-sort it.

In Printing Preferences > Page Setup > Copies I have ticked Print from Last Page - but it prints out of order. I have ticked Print from Last Page and Collate - but still it prints out of order.

It seems ridiculous that the printer is not set to print in order as default. How can I do this please?

Many thanks

Mr Shed

I also have a Canon IP4500 and I love it, but I noticed mine was printing in the same reverse order (first page printed first, placing it on the bottom of the pile.) I went in and reset the options to print from last page and it worked perfectly. You might try to set (check) ONLY the "Print from Last Page" option and ignore the "collate" option. Collate is only useful if you're printing more than one copy of each page and you are not.

Sorry, it's the best I can do but it worked for me.

Thanks for this - no, I have Print from Last Page ticked (and Collate unticked) - but still wrong order.

/slap naughty Canon!
