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.)
