    I've had this problem for a while now. When printing to a Brother
    HL-1440 my print previews correctly but when it actually prints, all
    the text in rotated 180 degrees and mirrored. The rotation is per
    charactor, not string. I can print to our document server and an late
    model Brother Laserjet without problems. I've tried updating to the
    latest printer drivers with no luck. So for the last few months I've
    just printed to the doc server or had "my people" print things out for
    me. :)

    I just installed Viewer 11 on a purchasing computer that has the same
    model printer. Same problem. Now I have to fix it.

    I can't find anything on the web or in the groups about it. No
    support from Brother due to it being an older model and AutoDesk
    support is non-existant unless you keep writing checks.

    Anyone hear hear of this problem before? Is there a fix other than a
    new printer?

  2. As a work around, try changing the printer settings "print text as
    graphics". I always wanted to try this. Might also be a selection of
    hpgl to raster.
