Eagle 5.2 Can't Print Mirrored Text

Is anyone else using Eagle 5.2?  I'm building a micro amp using the LM386 in 5.2 and cant figure out how to get it to print mirrored text on the trace (bottom) layer.  The text always comes out unmirrored whether I have "mirror" checked or not.

Mirror text printing works fine in projects I've done in 4.16r2 BUT the new schemo I did in 5.2 won't open in 4.12.  I need 4.6 or higher and don't really want to load another version of Eagle if possible.

Once I get this little guy going, I'll post the schemo and trace.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

The good thing is I can export the mirrored trace and print from Paint or Painshop Pro.   :D

Update to my own thread  ;)

I tested Eagle 5.2 printing on my home PC / printer and the trace text prints out how it should, mirrored.  The letters are not flipped around.  I'm not sure what my work PC / printer is doing to eagle's font settings.  It was doing the same thing sporadically to the older 4.16r2 (some letters would come out mirrored and some letters flipped around)  ???

Anyway, it's ALL GOOD since I only print my traces from my home PC anyway.

BTW, Yes, I was designing traces at work... it was a slow evening... shhhhh don't tell anyone!    :D
