New Canon MG2551S printer printing text upside down and reversed on iMac

Hi, I have just got & installed a Canon MG series printer, i have had one before connected to the same Mac as i still have. For some reason it will only print in mirror image, I have tried printing from Word & Pages & the result is the same. The text on screen starts from the top left as you would expect but when it prints, the text is at the bottom of the page going right to left. I have reinstalled the drives, i have been through all the print settings & i cant figure it out, i am loosing my mind! Any help will be appreciated :)

Thank you, Its a Canon MG2551S. I have uninstalled all the canon stuff & deleted the printer. I then just plugged the printer into the computer & did nothing else. I have tried to print from Word & Pages but it still the same. Sometimes everything is back to front other times its just printing the top of the page at the bottom.
