Gail,
I am not aware of any software/freeware that will print the mirror image you
need for the T-shirt medium. I have not seen any transfer medium designed
for HP in any of the stores in the Dallas area. If you are planning to use
the Canon transfer pages, you should use the Canon printer. There is a
difference in the chemical makeup of the HP ink and I don't believe that it
would be compatible. There are differences between the Canon inks also, and
some require a special vinegar rinse to avoid color fade. The Canon driver
included with the printer has the reverse option, however the Windows 95
default driver does not! I had to reinstall the original driver after I
upgraded to W-95.
Good Luck !! I know the T-shirts we have made were a great hit!
