On the Epson driver you can select whether the image runs head first or 
feet first. And I was happy that your print direction showed which way 
it went. But as there's no choice in QTRgui than head first I will keep 
in mind that the print direction is upwards in the preview. That's my 
gripe with driver software, it is so easy to turn the image on its head 
or the print feed direction or both and no one cares that we like to see 
some analogy with what happens in real life: Paper feeding towards the 
floor and the print starting at the feet. If you could keep the paper 
feed direction in the preview from top to bottom for everything printed, 
sheets, rolls, oblong formats, whatever and turn the images in the 
preview like they will roll from the printer then it gets familiar again.

Wonder why I do not have that problem when reading maps.
