The problem is that when printing documents on an inkjet printer, I would like
to be able to pick up the document and staple it without manually reversing the
pages first. But that means having the pages come out in reverse order, since
the printer is printing face-up. There are settings in the PPD and in other
CUPS tools which allow me to specify that pages should be reversed by default.
However, Okular seems to be ignoring these settings. Unless I check the
"reverse" box in the print dialog, pages come out in the wrong order on my
inkjet.
Some things were fixed in cups-filters but I find that the bug persists, so I'm
letting the Okular team know about it.
