Fred,
I was checking mail at the LUG meet yesterday, and asked Arvind. The basic
idea is that you have to do mirror printing from the program itself (if it
supports that). For instance, (I think he said) CorelDraw or PageMaker had a
checkbox to do this. However, maybe Lyx doesn't have this feature. Arvind
also mentioned that he had (very long ago, in pre-Linux days) done a batch
file to modify a PostScript file to mirror-image the output while sending to
the printer. Based on that, I did some googling, and found something that
may help. If you print from Lyx to a PostScript file, you could then work on
this PS file to get mirror-imaged output:
http://www.tug.org/mail-archives/pstricks/2000/000469.html tells you, at the
bottom of the page, after the PS code:
Alternatively, if you have the normal postscript file already generated,
please load it any ascii editor, cut and paste this mirror.ps after the
comments part in your normal postscript file.
If you view this file with gv (ghostscript) this will show mirror imaged
view of the contents.
I think dvips (mentioned on that page) is for TeX to PS
conversion/generation, so probably it's not of use. However, if you ignore
that and use the manual mod quoted above this, it might work...
You could use Evince or other PostScript viewers to see if this works on
your book's PS file. If it does, you could then use the ps2pdf utility to
convert the modified PS file to PDF (the ps2pdf13 and ps2pdf14 commands on
my system were installed as part of the ghostscript-common-8.60-55 package
which is probably already on your system).

file to modify a PostScript file to mirror-image the output while sending to
the printer. Based on that, I did some googling, and found something that
may help. If you print from Lyx to a PostScript file, you could then work on
this PS file to get mirror-imaged output:
http://www.tug.org/mail-archives/pstricks/2000/000469.html tells you, at the
bottom of the page, after the PS code:
Alternatively, if you have the normal postscript file already generated,
please load it any ascii editor, cut and paste this mirror.ps after the
comments part in your normal postscript file.
If you view this file with gv (ghostscript) this will show mirror imaged
view of the contents.
I think dvips (mentioned on that page) is for TeX to PS
conversion/generation, so probably it's not of use. However, if you ignore
that and use the manual mod quoted above this, it might work...
You could use Evince or other PostScript viewers to see if this works on
your book's PS file. If it does, you could then use the ps2pdf utility to
convert the modified PS file to PDF (the ps2pdf13 and ps2pdf14 commands on
my system were installed as part of the ghostscript-common-8.60-55 package
which is probably already on your system).

Re: [ILUG-GOA] Query: printing mirror image
Managed printing in 'mirror' by adding this to my latex preamble:
\special{papersize=5.5in,8.5in}
\usepackage{poligraf}
\mirror
BTW, this is a fantastic page showing what TeX can do in the world of graphics:
http://www.tug.org/texshowcase/#graphics
The TeX showcase
Derek had also shown me some great tools for preparing TeX/LaTeX/LyX
files for the printing house.

Colour-separations, CMYK printing and what not! This solution
apparently comes from Poland.

Authors' names in the table-of-contents
Any way I could insert the authors' names in the table-of-contents, without including the same in the top-of-the-page information? This is for a multi-authored book, where we need to identify the author of each chapter adequately. Thanks!
