    One of our clerks - who a few weeks back got her computer so loaded with adware and spyware that it let in a passel of virii and quit working and had to have XP Pro re-installed - has managed to do something to her system so that it prints in mirror image, but only from M$ Publisher. Looks fine on the screen, it just prints mirrored. Weird.

    Word Perfect is okay, so is every other app - just Publisher.

    I found a "mirror image" flag on the printer driver setup (HP OfficeJet 57xx), but it's set off (well, duh... everything else prints fine) - it works, too, because I turned it on, printed a WP doc and got mirror image, turned it back off and printed fine from WP, but not from Publisher. It's not a setting on a specific document, I loaded some of the "templates" and printed, same results. I'm almost tempted to tell her to set her Pub docs to print mirror and see if they print straight! By gar, that's not bad - I may just do that tomorrow AM if nothing else comes up.

    All I can think of right off hand is that maybe Publisher is doing something with the driver that WP and others don't. Could Incredimail have diddled with it somehow? I'm kinda thinkin' it's what let all the adware, spyware, cute fuzzy screensavers and crap that nailed her computer last time... which is why I told her NOT to install it again.

    Anybody?
