Alexey,

This may sound like a dumb question - but cant you just flip the
transparency onto its other side?

I'd suggest using CUPS instead of standard lpd. (package cupsys from
unstable). This kind of stuff is done by just specifying -o mirror
option to the lpr command.
There is much more good to it.
Unfortunately the best part - the GUI interface and the drivers to several
hundreds of printers are commercial (I've got a multiuser package for our
department - very cool). But the generic drivers should be enough for most
of the typical situations, especially if you have a PostScript printer.

I hope at some point the CUPS is going to be THE standard.

Sergey.
