HELP!!! On an Epson ET-16650 Series, I'm having the same issue with this new MacBook Pro...the backside page is printing upside down regardless of what app I use. Ex: Pages, Word, PDF, etc. I'm not experiencing that printing issue on any other computer such as: my old MacBook Pro (which I still use) or on two Dell desktops and a Dell laptop. All four of them are printing fine.

Also, I have tried messing around with the binding in the layout from long-edge to short-edge and it made no difference. Neither did the layout direction, of course, because it's only printing the one page on each side. I tried turning and off the collation just in case something flukey would help, but to no avail.


I also followed advise given regarding going the system preferences > printers & scanners, selecting the appropriate printer > options and supplies to check the generic box but there was no "generic" box option.
