Printer is printing payslip backwards - mirror effect

My printer will not print a payslip correctly as above.

It prints all other documents correctly , but payslips are backwards .

Anyone know how to fix this ?

ok try getting a pdf printer program and print it to PDF first

if you have adobe acrobat pro (not the free reader) it has this feature a lot of other programs like foxit has it they will install a virtual printer to create the PDF
then make sure it not just your application if you can print from PDF correctly

hope this helps

Have you checked the settings in your payslip software? Is print reverse or something like that an option? Look in the page setup settings also, it's probably a setting in the software causing it, especially as it's isolated to the one program.
Out of interest whats the payslip program called?

Gut feeling is that the payslip printing program has been configured to print on that special carbon paper or something - you know those payslips that come encased in a little sealed envelope that you rip off the edges?

Afaik they print from the back to imprint on the paper inside.

Its not a programme ., - Its a copy payslip that is emailed to me by an employer .
In PDF , and maybe it is set in such a way that it cannot be printed properly

Print it out using dot matrix, then turn the sheet of paper around. Working as designed.

Haha no, not really. Tell your employer to cop on and fix it.

If its a copy on a PDF then they have probably just printed your payslip to a pdf printer as opposed to the normal printer. The normal printer most likely needs the print in reverse to print on a sealed payslip.
