Prints Word 2003 documents backwards only

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

My HP 6mp printer prints Word 2003 docs last page first, regardless of the options I check. One MVP (Diane Poremsky) suggests that there seems to be a general issue for HP printers with backward and forward printing of pages. My question here is on how to quarantine the problem so other print facilities don't print in the wrong direction, the image printer in particular.

When I print a Word document as an image to Microsoft Office OneNote, the page order is reversed. I assume the problem is connected with the reversed Word page order for HP-printed pages, although I don't understand why it should. Perhaps the problem lies with Word somehow, since it affects Word documents regardles off how printed, and does not affect other documents.

I'm looking for ideas so I can get OneNote to print correctly. I had the brilliant idea of making the image printer my default printer, so it would set the standard, but it still prints backwards. As I type this, it occurs to me this is further evidence that the problem is in Word. Anyone have an idea?
