From: Jack Gillis on 22 Mar 2007 15:39 Under FC6 with HPILP installed and running my Photosmart 2570 does not print multi-page documents in the proper order in all cases. Printing for Firefox and Adobe produces prints the pages in reverse order, the last page first followed by all the pages with the first page last. Since the printer produces the pages face up in the output tray they are in the correct order for reading. However, Open Office Calc, Write and Gedit prints the first page first order so that the printed pages appear with the first page on the bottom face up and the last page on top and I have to arrange them in the proper order for reading. I used the HP Device Manager to set the 'reverse order' but it doesn't seem to take effect for Calc, Write and Gedit. Localhost:631 doesn't offer a chance to change the order. How can I get the order set to print multi-page documents in reverse order for all cases? Thank you very much.

I'm pretty sure OpenOffice uses its own internal paging commands for the printer. When printing, you'll need to select reverse order there. There may be an option in spadmin to make it permanent. You may need to do something similar for Gedit, but I'm using an older version (CentOS 4) so I can't be sure you have that option.

From: Jack Gillis on 23 Mar 2007 00:18 Thank you. I have looked everywhere I can think of to find a 'reverse printing' option in Open Office 2.07 and couldn't find one. Lets assume that I could use the spadmin option. Wouldn't that also apply when I print to my Brother 1440 which already prints correctly?

I'm using OO 1.1.5, and when I open the print dialog, there is a button at the bottom labeled "Options" in the lower left corner. In the dialog which that opens, the center column at the top offers "Left pages," "Right pages" and the "Reversed" option is under that. Might be similar for OO 2.x. I'm trying to imagine why they would remove that feature, but I would hardly be surprised if they moved it. I wish I could help more. -- Ed Hurst ---------- return addy is a spam trap try je hurst at opera mail dot com |
