psreverse - reverse printer output

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.15. Last changed in IRIX 6.5.15.

     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.)
