Re: [sqr-users] Printing in mirror mode

Susan,

If you are generating Postscript (or are willing to get you final output 
format by applying a filter to PS) there is an easy solution.  You can 
use "print-direct" to enter PS commands into your output file.

There is an example of printing rotated text here:
http://www.ontko.com/sqr/
Look for "vertical printing" about 1/2 way down the page.  Of course you 
will want it rotated 180 degrees rather than 90.

There is probably a command for flipping text over so that it can be 
read from the back, but I don't have a PS manual handy.

Hope this helps,
Eric
