If you can't turn the images for the preview and the print and you like 
to present the image in the preview with head to the top then it is 
inevitable that the print direction as represented in the preview is 
from bottom to top and the actual printing is done from top to bottom 
with the head of the image first. That's the default on most drivers 
too. I'm the mechanical type that prefers to see the print direction 
going downwards in the preview and the image upside down, I don't have 
to edit it in QTR so I don't bother that it is upside down. Nesting 
can't be done with QTRgui so recognising several different images with 
the same subject isn't needed either. All the Epson sheet printers feed 
the paper in the same way I guess.

Forget the issue. I have coped with all the drivers Wasatch RIP, 
CorelDraw, PS, Risc Os, Qimage and I get there in the end. Take the 
paper feed direction away for rolls though as it is misleading right now.

Anyone else having issues with Qimage that it goes flat when printing to 
file but works in direct printing?  Couldn't really enjoy the new 
features of print to file so far.
