Like I said...

"FWIW, I am running GnuCash 2.2.1 on XP/SP2, and all my reports print
backwards and upside-down... I *must* use Report > Export to .html"

UPDATE, also "Create a PDF document" works correctly.

I am not sure how to accurately describe my GnuCash printed reports, so I
will try again...
On page 1 of my printed report, the FIRST line I see on my SCREEN is
printed as the LAST line on page 1 of the printed report.  And, I have to
hold the report in front of a light to see through the paper to read it. 
And, I read from the bottom going up.

I have two printers, and they both have the exact same mirror like output...
Printer1 = HP4MV, 52 MBytes, with PCL & Postscript personalities installed
(Microsoft driver = HP LaserJet 4V/4MV PostScript)
Printer2 = Canon i250 (Canon driver = Canon IJ Printer Driver Version 1.90)

I my humble opinion, it *is* a GnuCash problem (at least some
sub-component package).
