Printing double sided from Ipad Pro

Is there a way to print double sided on an Ipad without the second page being upside down?

I'm trying to print a document on both sides of the paper (landscape). The second side prints upside down from the topside (page 1). My printer is an HP Office Jet Pro 8020 series (new). The document is a pages document. When I go to print, there is no option for flipping on long edge or flipping on short edge, so I'm not sure how to fix this without just printing each page manually. I've looked at other forums and discovered that many people have run into this same issue. If I print it from my Mac, I have the option to change how it flips. There seems to be no way to do this from my Ipad Pro.

For the benefit of clarity, I presume that “upside down” implies that when printing the even numbered pages, the printed text is inverted on what is effectively the back of the paper page. In other words, when printing double-sided, your printed page has text flipped on the short-edge - and not the long-edge of the page?


Other than checking the print settings, I’m stumped as to the cause.


Can you provide details of your printer - and, if used, details of your Print Server?
