Manual duplex and paper rotation

[MeisterLLD]

On my HP Smart Tank 5105 Series, using manual duplex gives the following :

• the default setting (manual with inversion) prints the back pages in the wrong order, thus page 1 ends up with the last page on its back, 2 with the next to last etc. To achieve this I just flip the paper back in the tray.
• manual without inversion does not have this problem, but the back pages are printed upside down (180° rotation). To solve this I have to feed the paper in the following way : flip it back, and then rotate it by 180° before putting it back in the tray.

Is there a way to have the correct order and automate the 180° rotation (i.e. just rotate the document before printing the back pages) ?

I believe this happens because my printer does not flip the paper after printing it, the paper route is straightforward. I also believe providing a short edge binding option in Boomaga would solve this problem.

Hi! If I understand correctly, you want Boomaga to let you rotate the second set of pages 180° from the first. If so, can you test the latest commit in my repo? It lets you select short edge binding option even with manual duplex, which I believe would solve your problem.
