yep, except that OOo makes use of PPD for composing the PS whereas most 
ps-utils don't.
Anyway, PS from OOo printed like 'lp -d dj560c psfile.ps' results in a
mirrored printout, like a SP from eg a2ps(1). Printing from OOo the normal
way works.

here you go, pls see attachment - one is OOo's (copied text into new doc,
then printed), and the other is 'echo "text"|a2ps -B -1 -o a2ps.ps'.

no .lpoptions, other files ps see attachment.
