Package: printer-driver-hpcups
Version: 3.12.6-3
Severity: normal
>From Bug#522595 (closed by Brian Potkin):
> This bug report was submitted against a version of CUPS that is no
> longer supported in Debian.
Fair enough.
I just retested it with cups 1.5.3-1 and cups-filters 1.0.18-2+b1 (both
from testing/unstable). The problem is the same -- repeated below for
convenience:
With or without the magic line
*DefaultOutputOrder: "reverse"
in /etc/cups/psc.ppd, the pages come out in 'normal' order (first page
first). However, the lp option '-o output-order=reverse' does reverse
the order. e.g. this works fine:
lp -o output-order=reverse -o page-ranges=123-184 book-indexing.pdf
(but it doesn't matter whether the ppd has the DefaultOutputOrder line).
The printer is an HP PSC 2710 all-in-one scanner/fax/inkjet printer.
I'm filing the bug against printer-driver-hpcups because the PPD has
this line:
*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 hpcups"
and hpcups is in the printer-driver-hpcups package.

I've used *DefaultOutputOrder: "reverse" successfully with a number of
PPDs and am pretty confident the bug in pdftopdf (if it was there) is
squashed. So closing.
Apologies for the long delay in originally getting back to you.
