Print Doc 2 before 1

[Microsoft Newsgroups]

Just installed Word 2003 on my new XP system. I print to an HP 870Cse.

I have a doc with an envelope (#10 size) as the first page, and a letter
(8.5 x 11).

In the past, on my old computer system (same printer), I would place an
envelope in the envolope feeder of my printer, and the envelope would print,
and then the letter would print right after it.

Now, the letter prints first (on the envelope!) and the envelope info prints
on the letter paper.

Searched all the printer options/setups, and searched all the page layout
options, and didn't find anything that might be related.

Any suggestions as to how to cure this problem?

Thanks for any help in advance...

The new Windows XP printer driver recognizes that your printer stacks
output pages face-up, which on your old system meant that the printed
pages would be in reverse order from the Word file. WinXP's printer
driver tries to help you by automatically printing in backward order so
that the printed output is in the same order as the Word file. You can
revert to your old system's behavior by setting the printer to "Back to
Front" in Start | Control Panel | Printers | HP 870Cse | Printing
Preferences.
