Problem with booklet printing in Preview on 2020 MBP M1 running Monterey

Suddenly, after installing Monterey, Booklet printing in Preview is barely functional. It will print booklets but they are in backwards order, with Page One printed on the left half of the page. The fold/gutter is to the right of Page One, meaning that if I want to read it like a book, I must start reading from the back with the spine on the right side, and turn the pages from left to right, opposite from normal.


I have tried to research this in the community, but couldn't find anything similar. I have Double sided ON, entered 2 in Layout/pages per sheet, Short-edge binding ON, Booklet printing ON, and I have tried all of the layout directions in the Layout menu:



... and it shows the different layouts in the preview, but it still prints the same - backwards. Page Order does not work at all in the print preview. I tried reversing thew order of the pages:


but that didn't work either.


Please restore functionality that has been lost! This was built-in and working fine, but has now vanished. I don't want to use a 3rd party app to do what was so easy in the past!


MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
