Printing upside down

Using Publisher to print a cookbook, 8.5 x 11, landscape, two-sided printing,
booklet.

Today I went to Staples to buy my paper and talked to a gal in the printing
department. We created a quick 'fake' eight-page booklet to answer a question
we had in amount of paper needed. In doing so, I inserted a textbox with a
small amount of text on each page and we printed both sides of the paper. The
problem was the back of the paper printed the text upside down. Before I
print my actual 250 page document I'd better figure out what in the world is
wrong. Thanks.

It is a printer setup option. My printer dialogue has "flip pages up." It
depends on how you are going to bind the book.

Thank you for your prompt response. It will be bound on the left side with a
plastic comb binding.

If your printer is duplexing automagically, then you need to look in
your printer driver for either "Flip pages up", or "Binding" (tablet vs.
booklet/long-edge vs. short/edge) or some other similarly-named option,
and toggle it to the option it is not currently set at.

If you're duplexing manually, you simply need to rotate the page through
180° before reinserting it into your printer.
