Bug Description
Binary package hint: hplip-ppds
i got a deskjet 3740 for super-cheap at staples. it works great with ubuntu except for two problems.
the problem for this bug is that when paper comes out of my printer it comes out with the printed side facing up. the paper then drops onto the tray.
this means that if pages come out of my printer 1 2 3 4 they will go onto the tray in order 1 2 3 4. when i pick them up, page 4 is on top.
there is an option in PPD files specifically designed to deal with this. this option is documented in the CUPS FAQ here:
http://
It says:
1.7 How do I print pages always in reverse order?
In the PPD:
*DefaultOut
See:
http://
PPDs are generated dynamically from foomatic-db since Edgy.
Reassigning to foomatic-db-hpijs.
Till, should this be added to each PPD for face-up printers?
