linux reverse page order+duplex is not working
hi all,

i have a postscript file with duplex print commands. When i print it with
lpr command it prints in duplex.

lpr -pprintername filename.ps

but when i try to print the pages in reverse order with -outputorder=reverse
it is not printing in reverse order (but pages are prited in duplex since PS file has duplex commands)

lpr -pprintername -o outputorder=reverse filename.ps

again i tried to print a postscript file without duplex commands and with outputorder=reverse option. Now pages are printed in reverse order.

So the problem is whenever the PS file has duplex commands outputorder=reverse option doesnt work for me.

Kindly suggest me a solution .....


Thanks and Regards,
uttam hoode

postreverse

postreverse(1)							   User Commands						    postreverse(1)

NAME

       postreverse - reverse the page order in a PostScript file

SYNOPSIS

       postreverse [-o list] [-r] [file]

       /usr/lib/lp/postscript/postreverse

DESCRIPTION

       The  postreverse  filter  reverses the page order in files that conform to Adobe's Version 1.0 or Version 2.0 file structuring conventions,
       and writes the results on the standard output.  Only one input file is allowed and if no file is specified, the standard input is read.

       The postreverse filter can handle a limited class of files that violate page independence, provided all global definitions are bracketed by
       %%BeginGlobal  and %%EndGlobal comments. In addition, files that mark the end of each page with %%EndPage: label ordinal comments will also
       reverse properly, provided the prologue and trailer sections can be located. If postreverse fails to find an %%EndProlog or %%EndSetup com-
       ment, the entire file is copied, unmodified, to the standard output.

       Because	global	definitions are extracted from individual pages and put in the prologue, the output file can be minimally conforming, even
       if the input file was not.

OPTIONS

       -o list	Select pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated list. The list contains single numbers N and ranges N1 - N2. A missing
		N1  means  the	lowest numbered page, a missing N2 means the highest. The page range is an expression of logical pages rather than
		physical sheets of paper. For example, if you are printing two logical pages to a sheet, and you specified a range of 4, then  two
		sheets of paper would print, containing four page layouts. If you specified a page range of 3-4, when requesting two logical pages
		to a sheet; then only page 3 and page 4 layouts would print, and they would appear on one physical sheet of paper.

       -r	Do not reverse the pages in file.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Examples of postreverse.

       o select pages 1 to 100 from file and reverse the pages:

       example% postreverse -o1-100 file

       To print four logical pages on each physical page and reverse all the pages:

       example% postprint -n4 file | postreverse

       To produce a minimally conforming file from output generated by dpost without reversing the pages:

       example% dpost file | postreverse -r

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       Successful completion.

       non-zero        An error occurred.

ATTRIBUTES

NOTES

       read three times before being reversed.
