Is there a way to print out a mirror image of a postscript file? Someone wants to test some artwork for a printed circuit board, and we need to get a mirror image of what the CAD package generated. THe program is retarded so it can't reverse the image itself. In the red book, there is a reference to MirrorPrint under setpagedevice; but apparently it is hardware dependent. Does MirrorPrint work for an Apple II NT? Trying to find docs around here is really interesting. Any hel p appreciated. Thanks -Dave saranen@staff.tc.umn.edu University of Minnesota

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). > In the red book, there is a reference to MirrorPrint under > setpagedevice; but apparently it is hardware dependent. This key is both device-specific and Level 2-specific. Sorry!
