    Can't get my hp Deskjet-6940-series to print in reverse order

    Hi All,

    For some reason, I can not get one of my customer's DJ-6940 to print in reverse order. I have tried modifying the only ppd I can find in /etc/cups/ppd (Deskjet-6940-series):

    Code:
    *PPD-Adobe: "4.3"
*% PPD file for HP Deskjet 6940 Series hpijs with CUPS.
*% Created by the CUPS PPD Compiler v1.2.3.
*% (c) 2004-2008 Copyright Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP
*%DefaultOutputOrder: "forward"
*DefaultOutputOrder: "reverse"
    with both forward and reverse and can not get it to print in reverse order. I have tried restarting cupsd and ever doing the Windows thing and rebooting. What am I doing wrong?

    Many thanks,
    -T

    Sorry for the delay, it seems like you are doing the right thing. Maybe the ppd is not being read? How about overriding it from the command line to debug the issue:

    HTH!

      Thank you!

      I don't go out to that customer again till next week. I will try:

      lpoptions -p Deskjet-6940-series -o outputorder=reverse

      and see what happens. I may also try changing the ppd to

      *OutputOrder: reverse

      dropping the "Default" and see what happens.

        Hi, have you installed the hplip-gui?
        It has all sorts of configuration options for hp printers, including reverse order. It's what I use with my hp printer.

        Hope it helps.

          No. Didn't realize it existed. Where did you download your from?

            Just open a console and type:
            Code:
            sudo apt-get install hplip-gui
