Question Brother Printer prints backward in OS-X

I have the Brother MFC 420-CN printer and since transferring all files and applications from my G4 to my new MacBook Pro, little glitches abound here and there. I've figured most of them out, but my printer continues to print backward (i.e. reads perfectly in the mirror or through a light-board) from Safari and Preview, possibly other programs. I have not wasted paper to try them all.

When searching, the only reference I found to this problem is here. It is a different model printer (210), but identical problem, same operating system -- only this person reports the problem out of MS-Word, but no other apps.

I am connecting to the printer through a NetGear Wireless Router, using Airport, and operate OS-X (10.4.8).

Thanks for any advice and information!

According to the Brother website, the built-in driver may have problems. Try using this updated one:
