Booklet printing in Pages

I've read several entries from January of 2020. I have Pages v 11.1. I need to print a booklet of 30 to 40 pages. When I go to print menu [HP OFFICEJET PREMIUM 6700] there is a pull down near the bottom that has PDF showing, when I pull down thropught that there is a Create Booklet option. When I select that a window opens showing the pages being processed, i.e. counting from 1 to the last one. Then it disappears and there is no print menu to actually print.

I'm about to go from 2018 Mac mini to new Mac Book Pro. I'm also considering going back to Microsoft

Mac mini, macOS 11.5

I used Save as PDF to avoid using up paper when testing this.

I've just tried printing directly from Pages with the same settings as above and the result is correctly laid out as a paper booklet.

So the only bit that isn't working as I'd expect is the print preview in Pages.

No additional software needed!

Well, no joy in any of the various configurations. I used Preview to open and print, I used Pages to open Preview and Print and I used Pages to Print. The best outcomes were the pages were in the correct order but alternated upside down.

As you can see from these SS the only location for booklet is at the bottom. And there remains disparities between youor screen shots and mine. The challenge is interesting but I'll be recycling a lot of paper.
