Printing odd and even pages

Our printer only prints single pages, so printing duplex means printing one side then turning the paper over to print the other side.  However, I noticed something when I printed my latest duplex as I setup which pages to print first.

When the print window opened, and if I opened "more options" and chose either "odd pages" or "even pages," just the opposite was printed.  In other words, my first selection was "even pages" but the "odd pages" were printed instead.  And when I chose "odd pages" the "even pages" were printed.  It all came out in the wash, but I was wondering if this is normal with Adobe Reader or something which needs reported.

At least with my Acrobat, the pages are printed as indicated. It needs to be with your Acrobat file. How was that created?

You could try printing a standard PDF you get from Adobe, like the release notes to confirm the behaviour.

The document printed was downloaded from the HP site, so I don't know how the PDF file was created.  And unfortunately, we've switched to a new HP printer so I'll not be able to print another PDF document on our last printer.  So because of this I suppose this topic has ended.
