How to setup reverse print order?

[Dave92f1]

How do I setup reverse print order, so the last page gets printed first (and output is stacked with first page on top, last page on the bottom)?

Googling around I'm told there's supposed to be a "reverse print order" option in the printer setup, but I don't see it. See attached screenshot. It's an Epson ET-16650.

It looks like that option isn't available in Linux. Epson's website for this printer series says it is for Windows and Mac. However, in the screen shot you provided, you can try setting Output Tray to Face Down. After printing the document, you just have to take the stack and turn it over.

Alas, Face Down isn't an option. That field can't be changed - it's Face Up only.

Is attaching the printer to a Windows box and then sharing it over the LAN with Linux an option? Would reverse order work that way?

Also, Epson DOES offer Linux drivers for this printer (see http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/ ). It's just that they don't "offer support" for it. I'm using the generic driver now.

This type of setting will be in the application. not the printer.

For Libreoffice:
File> Print > General


Other tools might not have this, unless the driver explicitly offers the option.
Mine doesn't

One *might* be able to 'hack' it to do so, by manually editing the ppd file for the printer by adding the line "*DefaultOutputOrder: Reverse" (without quotes!) to /etc/cups/ppd/YOURPRINTER.ppd
No idea where it needs to go in this file.

I did check to see if it was a KDE specific setting, but it doesn't seem to be, at least fore me:
