MG2500 Printer -- All I want to do if print a full size page from a scan!

[Eulenspiegel]

  Should that be so hard!!!?

  I have it set to documents, which is what I need to print out.  Regular business size.  But every time I try, it comes out with the text 'sideways' on the left half of the paper.

  At first, it was all the text, but very small.

  I tried fiddling with some of the settings and managed to get the size right, but it was still sideways and of course now there wasn't room for all the text to show, so part of the information wasn't showing.

  (That was after I changed it from 'Portrait' to 'Landscape' which I KNOW sounds counterintuitive, but I was desparate.)

  Can anyone tell me what all the basic settings should be just to take a scan of a plain 8.5 X 11 inch business document and then print it out so that it comes out the same way?!

  Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!!

  (So far, I am not loving this printer.)
