Hey David welcome to the list. The t-shirts were limited edition.

Since you are printing under windows I can't help you there. can't 
say I've looked at the send contents to printer command, if I assume 
it is using postscript, maybe it's an issue with the coordinate 
system for that particular printer? A preamble to flip things around 
is needed?
