Geez Nancy,
You’re just a beginner ! <G> I did that same thing years ago. I think I invented it, in fact !

Brent,
I am going to leave the paper in the box from now on so I know the orientation at night!
Nancy,
I use a paper slicer to pre-cut my Matte sheets into half sheets and quarter sheets . It’s even harder to tell when the paper is small sized in my basement room <G> .

In "the old days in the darkroom" I often checked, especially when printing on color paper, which was the printable size by touching it with my lips. The sticky side was the emulsion side. I don’t know if this will apply to digital printing papers as well. I cannot check it as my printer is in the studio and my internet connection is at home.
Might be worth a try.

Nancy, maybe you ought to put a little pencil mark on the ‘wrong’ side of every sheet while you have good light to use…
Leen,
That’s an idea, alas, of the papers I use, only my semi-glossy or glossy paper has that sticky feel… I had my "laughable blooper" with the flat matte paper.

I hate to admit it, but my first try on heavyweight paper on my (then) brand new Epson Photo printer, turned out absolutely awfull.
I had been through all of correct setup of printer & paper, as per manufacturers instructions, used one sheet for small test images, they were excellent. Finally, bit the bullet and went for a full A4 print at max quality.
It came out like a paint spill. I couldn’t figure out why for a time.
Then it hit me …………. I had used the protective separator card. It wasn’t much thicker than the paper, and I had pulled it out by accident, and put it into the feeder tray.
Luckily, I have been studying hard, and I now know the difference between my R’s and my elbow. (you have to say it – best not to write it) LOL
