I assume you get double-sided sheets. The expected order of printing for a 3-page document is on the first sheet at first a blank page and on the back side page 3. This sheet gets laid down with page 3 to the top. Then on the second sheet psge 2 is printed at first, the sheet is then turned over and page 1 printed on it. The sheet gets then laid down with page 1 to the top. So the pages are perfectly laid down in the correct order and one can immediately staple them. For me this works with a fully up-to-date Jaunty on an HP inkjet with duplex unit (HP PhotoSmart C8100) and the PPD files of either HPLIP 2.8.7 (from Intrepid) or 3.9.2 (from Jaunty).
Please do at first a complete system update, eithwr by clicking the appropriate tray icon and following the instructions of the update manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal window:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
If your printout still does not come out correctly, please attach your input file and tell how you exactly have printed it (application, option settings, ...). Create also an error_log output as described in the "CUPS error_log" section of
