The current scheme, if I understand it, works like this:

        mirror | auto-mirror | result
        -------+-------------+-------------------
           0   |       0     | as shown on screen
           1   |       0     | all layers mirrored
           0   |       1     | as if you were looking at the finished pcb
           1   |       1     | suitable for toner transfer, transparencies

So what about an option button that covers both bits with those
descriptions?

More advanced would be to produce one set suitable for an entire task.
For example all 'assembly' drawings would print 'as if you were looking
at the finished pcb', while copper layers would print 'suitable for toner
transfer'.  Then you could make and assemble a board from one print set.
