gcprevue does invert print from the output gerber files.

Yeah, but I'd rather do it directly.  I haven't yet
figured-out the proper
ghostscript command to do it, and would rather not jump

Again, please add a mirror print option.  Those iron-on
sheets are meant for laser
printers.  Eagle prints in reverse; why shouldn't KiCAD?
