Can someone tell me whether the Pad2Pad pcb layout software has the facility to create mirror images?

I don't know anything about Pad2Pad. I use Express PCB.  The way I get mirror images is to print your artwork to an image printer (I use Zan Image Printer. Http://www.zan1011.com) and then open the printed image in an image editor (such as Photoshop or my favorite, iPhoto +4).  Then print the image after it has been mirrored to your transfer medium (or to the PCB stock if you're printing directly).

Whoa -- I'm sure once you are used to it, that is not as complicated as it sounds. But it sure is easy in KiCad just to click the option for mirror image and then print! :)
