One simple way to do this is to put the following code at the top
of your file:
  612 0 translate
  -1 1 scale

This will fail on multi-page jobs or if your file has "initgraphics"
or certain other operators, but it is so simple it is worth a try.
It also presumes you want to flip horizontally, and your paper size
is 612 units wide (i.e. letter or legal, but not tabloid).

This key is both device-specific and Level 2-specific. Sorry!
