Description: A blank page is added when printing tiger.ps and option is
set to duplex. This issue is found to be specific to RHEL6.

Comparative testing (do this on both RHEL6 and Ubuntu):
1. Install "Generic Postscript Driver" printer, with name generic
2. Edit /etc/cups/ppd/generic.ppd
- add the line "*DefaultOutputOrder: Reverse" after ColorDevice
3. Issue the following comand:
$> cupsfilter -m application/pdf -p /etc/cups/ppd/generic.ppd -o
Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o MediaType=Glossy -o PageSize=Letter tiger.ps >
tiger.pdf
4. Observe.

RHEL6 Result:
tiger.pdf contains 2 pages where the 1st page is blank and the 2nd page
has the tiger.

Ubuntu Result:
tiger.pdf contains 1 page(with the tiger) only.
