[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#687421: printer-driver-hpcups: cannot set reverse-order printing in ppd

[Sanjoy Mahajan]

Package: printer-driver-hpcups
Version: 3.12.6-3
Severity: normal

>From Bug#522595 (closed by Brian Potkin):

> This bug report was submitted against a version of CUPS that is no
> longer supported in Debian.

Fair enough.

I just retested it with cups 1.5.3-1 and cups-filters 1.0.18-2+b1 (both
from testing/unstable).  The problem is the same -- repeated below for
convenience:

With or without the magic line

  *DefaultOutputOrder: "reverse"

in /etc/cups/psc.ppd, the pages come out in 'normal' order (first page
first).  However, the lp option '-o output-order=reverse' does reverse
the order. e.g. this works fine:

  lp -o output-order=reverse -o page-ranges=123-184 book-indexing.pdf

(but it doesn't matter whether the ppd has the DefaultOutputOrder line).

The printer is an HP PSC 2710 all-in-one scanner/fax/inkjet printer.
I'm filing the bug against printer-driver-hpcups because the PPD has
this line:

  *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 hpcups"

and hpcups is in the printer-driver-hpcups package.
