I am new to InDesign.  Trying to print a tri-fold double sided and the reverse side is printing upside down. I think it is some settings I need to tweak but can't find an easy answer.  Can anyone give guidance?

That is handled by the printer options, not InDesign. You have to set this up in your printer settings.

Can you post step-by-step screenshots? Sometimes, I've found to you have to go through multiple levels of printer settings to print double or single sided. Check for a "Properties" button or something. How do you do it when you aren’t using ID?

Hi, after decades of working with InDeisgn, and Pagemaker before that, wihout any problems, I am experiecing this problem as well. iMac 27" 2020, Ventura 13.1, InDesign 18.2.1. Duplex mode at the printer driver level is OFF. See attached prScreenshot 2023-04-26 at 1.48.16 PM.pngint screen. The default Duplex setting on the Printer hardware side is OFF as well.  Any idea?

My recommendation is here always to export first a PDF and print from Acrobat. Acrobat interacts with all kind of printers better than InDesign does. And it is much faster as PDFs are output optimized.
