    I tried to find an answer, but no luck.

    I just set up a small network at work with a router. Two desktops(wired), and on netbook(wireless), all running XP Home. Everything is working ok with the exception of the one desktop and the netbook.

    My desktop (PC #1 on router) prints fine, this is the computer the printer connected directly to via USB. The other two computers that are connected to the network pring everything in reverse. The printer is an HP Officejet Pro K5400.

    Is there an easy fix? I am totally new to the networking thing and kind of overwhelmed.

    Thank you! Mark

    Nothing related to the network. It must be a setting in the printer properties on the PCs.

    Mark, Go to > Control Panel > Printers & Faxes > Right click HP Default printer > Properties > Advanced > Printing Defaults Should show Layout and options for Front to back or Back to Front. Check which is required and OK out. Neil.
