Seems you donot has an OSS logon. OSS notes are consulting/ correcting notes provided by sap for various problems. I am pasting the whole text from the OSS note

Symptom

Graphics are printed upside down from the SAP System when printed on HP

Deskjets via generic device type SAPWIN.

Other terms

SAPlpd SAPWIN

Reason and Prerequisites

error in the Windows printer drivers of HP

Solution

This HP printing issue is fixed in BJ 1100 driver version Armstrong

R233-L, in BJ990, in BJ 2550, and in BJ4050.

HP standard print drivers are located at HP Website :

http://www.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html?pageDisplay=drivers

alternative :

Point&Print drivers (aka wizard drivers) for several printer models can

be found here:

http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/pond/pnp/

Please be so kind and give us some feedback about the results.

If the printer drivers didn't fix your problem, please be so kind and

send us the following information:

1. printer model

2. a detailed description of the issue

3. steps to reproduce (ie. Which transaction are they printing from?

Can it be reproduced from SE78 with the logo only - if logo related,

etc.)

4. which device type is used. In case of SAPwin, see below

5. a copy of the intermediate saplpd output files

To capture the SAPlpd files, please run SAPlpd from the command prompt

BEFORE you start the print job. This is how to do it: at the command

prompt, type "saplpd.exe -k" (without the quotation marks). When you

print, two files will be created. You can find them in the directory

where SAPlpd runs. On my PC, this is C:\Program

Page 2

Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\SAPlpd The two files will have the same name

except for the ".slp" extension of one of them.

6. a hardcopy example of the print out

7. if the issue is logo related, a copy of the logo for testing

8. a copy of the printer's configuration and menu pages

The printer's configuration and menu pages, We need the test pages from

the printer which will tell us which firmware it has, which settings are

used on the printer etc., not the screenshots from the SAP device setup.

If you use SAPwin:

9. which Windows version is used and which SP

10. which driver - pcl5/pcl6/PostScript, and which version?

The version number can be found here: Open the printers folder, open the

printer properties, click the "About" tab (all the way to the right). At

the top of the next screen you will see something like

60.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx. This is the driver version number. If you want to add

more information, a driver test page will show the version numbers of

the different files used.

11. a copy of the intermediate saplpd output

To capture the SAPlpd files, please run SAPlpd from the command prompt

BEFORE you start the print job. This is how to do it: at the command

prompt, type "saplpd.exe -k" (without the quotation marks). When you

print, two files will be created. You can find them in the directory

where SAPlpd runs. On my PC, this is C:\Program

Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\SAPlpd The two files will have the same name

except for the ".slp" extension of one of them.

12. a print-to-file from the Windows system

13. Print out of a testpage (will contain some information about the

file versions installed as well as whether it is PCL or PostSript

It is a printer issue ( printer driver / saplpd / or the device types used in SAPD for the printer ).

If you are printing on an HP Deskjet , check OSS 683605.

You can also try printing from some other PC as in local printing SAPLPD of the PC is used . Try printing on other printer as well if possible.
