If you print a page in duplex mode when one page is formatted for
landscape and the other page is formatted for portrait orientation, both
pages print in portrait orientation. This problem occurs when you use the
HPPCL5A.DRV printer driver version 31.3.89 for Microsoft Windows version
3.1 to print on a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet Series IIIsi or IIId
printer, or when you use the HP LaserJet 4Si printer driver in Windows 95.
If you print a document in duplex mode and each pair of pages is formatted
for the same orientation, the document prints correctly, even if the
document contains both landscape and portrait formatting. The only
situation in which duplex printing fails to print in the correct
orientation is when a pair of pages is not formatted for the same
orientation.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with version 31.3.89 of
the HPPCL5A.DRV for Windows version 3.1. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
