Greeting Card Printing

Hi
I am trying to print a greeting card on A4 paper on a laserjet printer. Printing directly from iPhoto or from a PDF file gives the wrong orientation - when I fold the card (all 4 sides are on the one sheet) the card text appears upside down on the inside of the cover (page 2) instead of right way up on page 3.
Any ideas how I can sort printing?
Thanks

You need to trip the paper to the card size before printing. In the US the default size, as determined in the Advanced print section under Paper Handling section, is 7" x 10". You can print on a larger size but I'm not sure if the orientation on each size will be exact to you can trip after printing.

I cut my card stock to that and put in the printer. After the first page prints I quickly turn the card stock over, end to end (the 10" length) and put back in the printer. Often I have to this the feed button as I'm just too slow.

I don't know what size it will be over there but checking in the Advanced->Paper Handling section of the Print window will tell you.

Do you Twango?
