Subject: Re: Laserjet 4 plus Problem !!!

From: "Bruno St-Laurent" <bsl88k@...>
Date: 2007-03-30

Did a small workaround to solved it !!! i printed first layer then
rotate drawing 180- degree then print the second layer(mirror)!!!,
Why ?? it prints the 2 layers the same way so they gets the same
offset in the middle , aligning properly for transfer !!!
