P: Print to file Problem - watermark is backwards

Hello,
when processing my photo with LRC, if I do a horizontal flip, then modify my settings and then reset everything to 0 by pressing the button, my photo remains inverted.
If I want to print my reversed photo with my signature (watermark), the preview is correct but the file is printed with the signature reversed.

Lightroom 12.3, I have a photo which has been flipped horizonally in the develop module. In the print module the photo shows properly and with the watermark displaying in the lower right corner.  However, when it prints, the print has the watermark in the lower left corner printed backwards.

Wouldn't having two versions of the watermark be easier? If you know you are going to flip the image, apply the "flipped" version of the watermark so it appears correctly.

Not a fix but a couple possible go-arounds while waiting for a fix from Adobe;

1) After flipping the image, export it. Then import that one and apply the watermark. This might not work if the edit history is  baked into the image. 

2) What will work is to flip the image outside of Lightroom before importing. 

If I use LR to flip a photo left for right and then in the Print module I put a watermark in the lower left corner (as shown on my screen), the actual print puts the watermark in the lower right with the text flipped left for right.  This bug has been in LR Classic for some time.

As a fairly new user of the Lightroom Classic CC's Print module, I figured I must be doing something wrong when the watermark on my image printed in mirror image.That's right, after flipping my dng file and sending it to print my Watermark was on the left side vs the right AND in written BACKWARDS (in mirror).

I am using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit Lightroom Classic CC 7.0.

In doing a little research in the forum, I see a few similar threads going back quite a while.

Chuck D Wells Aug 17, 2012 3:31 PM experienced the very same issue and a bug was noted in this :

Horizontal Flip also flips watermark when print to jpeg

MY problem is exactly as he documented with customer service rep in 2012. The preview of the print job looks perfect. It is only when you get the job off the printer that you see the reversed watermark.

Has anyone else encountered this? Unfortunately it can be a rather expensive mistake when you commit a 13"x19" print job on Pro Luster Paper!!

Thanks everybody for listening to my rant!

Cheers,
