Here's the definition of BP in the groff's prologue.ps:
/BP {
/level0 save def
1 setlinecap
1 setlinejoin
DEFS /BPhook known { DEFS begin BPhook end } if
72 RES div dup scale
LS {
90 rotate
} {
0 PL translate
} ifelse
1 -1 scale
} bind def
Note the final `1 -1 scale'. Since I'm not a PS expert I can't tell
you where the problem is. It looks like a bug in the print bureau's
PS implementation, but I can't tell you for sure.
As a workaround, I suggest that you use the `pstops' program (which is
part of the psutils package) to mirror the affected pages before
sending it to the printing shop.
