PSREVERSE(1M) K-Spool by Xinet (10/14/99 10.1) PSREVERSE(1M)
NAME
psreverse - reverse printer output
SYNOPSIS
/usr/etc/appletalk/psreverse
DESCRIPTION
The program psreverse reverses the pages for the printer.
It is usually called from the lp(1) or lpr(1) printer
script. One usually pipes the output of psreverse into
psf(1m).
CAVEATS
Programs must minimally conform to PostScript Document
Structuring Comments (begin with the string "%!PS-Adobe-")
to be reversed. Jobs that claim to conform, but in fact do
not, may not reverse correctly. This indicates a bug in the
application that generated the PostScript. The only
solution in this case is to disable reversing via the
xktalk(1) GUI, or by removing the call to psreverse from the
print queue's script (either spooldir/psif-printer for LPR
or the printer file in the LP interface directory).
BUGS
Currently, there is no method to reverse the order of non-
PostScript jobs from the UNIX system. Extremely long
documents may not be able to be reversed. (Current maximum
document length is 999 pages.)
