I created an PVC ID System for students using VB.NET (Framework 3.5) and Crystal Reports
I need to print the Cards in a Transparent Sheet and Paste it on a Plastic Card of same size before cutting for that i need everything to be printed mirrored.

I tried mirroring it manually before printing but the problem is with different kinds of printer drivers some does not support mirror printing. For instance i have EPSON L200 that i can manually click mirror button on preferences before printing, but in HP 2060 ink advantage i do not have this option.

Any idea where i can automatically mirror the whole page before printing if printer driver is not capable of doing it.

I'd do this. In your code, export the Crystal Report rpt to image format, then use System.Drawing classes to mirror the page and finally use PrintDocument to print both images the original and the mirrored one.
