Duplex Printing One Side Prints as Mirror Image

Here are the details
Printer: Kodak ESP 7250 AiO
Printer Driver: Kodak ESP 7200 series v.5.0
Computer: Macbook, 2.26Ghz Core 2, 4Gb RAM
OS: 10.6.4

Problem:
I tend to make full use of my printer's duplex option to save paper. Recently, and seemingly out of nowhere, one side of a two-sided print job will print as a mirror image. I have fiddled with the printer options including the Rotate Page Direction, and Flip Horizontally radio buttons (in different print jobs) and all they do is change which page prints as a mirror (i.e. normally side 2 is fine and side 1 is mirrored, changing one of these options makes side 1 normal and side 2 mirrored).

Aside from the normal Software Update, I have recently updated the Kodak Home Center printing software which had me go through and re-install the printer. It was after this update that the printing errors began. I have since uninstalled v.5.4 and downgraded to v.5.3(the version that shipped with the printer). Nothing has helped. I have unable to locate anything online regarding this problem (its either not there, or I'm not using the correct terms for an effective search). Any help would be appreciated.

Since this post is recent, I hope someone has an answer. I think I am having the same problem. I am making greeting cards, using duplex (two sided), and I cannot find a way to get the second page to print right side up. Instead, it comes out with page 2 upside down. So when you fold the page to make the greeting card, the cover is fine and when you open the card, the print is upside down and on the inside left instead of on the other half. This also happens even when I print one of the standard brochure templates that are in Pages.
