Mirror printing -- entire page prints backwards

Whenever I print from Firefox, the entire page is printed as though reflected in a mirror -- text, images....even the header and footer text. All other applications print just fine, including MSIE. Running Windows 7 in 64 bit. Firefox 3.x worked just fine. But 4.x is a disaster for printing. Have tried about:config to reset all printer settings, to no avail. Tried starting Firefox in safe mode, also no help. Any ideas?

Did you check the Properties for that printer, thru Firefox?

Brother has "Mirror Printing" on the Advanced page of its' Properties. Other brand printers have that pref listed under a different options heading.

Yes, looked through every tab & page & dropdown in the Properties for the HP 1320 LaserJet in Firefox; and there is no option for anything like mirror printing.

All other applications print fine (Word, Excel, etc) as does MS Internet Explorer. It is only Firefox that does this.

And now sometimes, it prints just a single line, or a black box, or a few random characters.
