     PSREVERSE(1M)  K-Spool by Xinet (29 Jul 1996 8.2)   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 psif(1m) 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
          xkspool GUI, or by removing the call to psreverse from
          spooldir/psif-printer.

     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.)
