Bug Description

I recently discoverd that my HP ENVY-5530 had duplex capabilities.

I normally use paper with pre-punched holes. To get things out correctly (ending up having the holes in the left side of the paper) I have to put the paper in the tray with the holes in the right side (seen from the front of the printer). The printer stacks the printed papers with ink pointing upwards which means it stacks the first printed paper at the bottom of the stack for that reason I normally use the option for reverse-order printing so the first page is at the top of the printed paper-stack.

That works well in the following situations:
* non-duplex, normal order. (though I have to invert of papers manually afterwards)
* non-duplex, reverse order.
* duplex, normal order.

But it does not work well for duplex with reverse order.
