Hi All,

 To use with envelope sorting machine (NEOPOST SI92) I need to print the document following order.

For a PS file with 8 pages order should be 7 8 <-> 5 6 <-> 3 4 <-> 1 2
(total number of sheets 4)

I tried follwoing methods

1. Normal page order is 1 2 <-> 3 4 <-> 5 6 <-> 7 8.

2. By adding *DefaultOutputOrder=Reverse in PPD + Duplex=DuplexNoTumble
   (output is 8 7 <-> 6 5 <-> 4 3 <-> 2 1, pages r riversed)

3. lpr command line option
   lpr -Pprintername -o outputorder=reverse -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble filename.ps (output is 8 7 <-> 6 5 <-> 4 3 <-> 2 1, pages r riversed)

4. psselect -r filename.ps (output is 8 7 <-> 6 5 <-> 4 3 <-> 2 1,, pages r riversed)

Kindly suggest me a tool or perl/python/shell script to print even page first.

Thanks and Regards,
uttam hoode
