SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word, if you change either the paper size or the orientation of a page, section breaks may be changed to odd page section breaks. When you then print the document to an HP LaserJet 5000 series printer with your printer's duplex option turned on, your printer may insert a blank page between two consecutive pages that have different orientations.
