Title:
  CUPS ignores page output order for some Brother printers

Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Printer I am using is DCP197C.

  1. Install drivers from http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#DCP-197C
      (both lpr and cupswrapper are required)
  2. Try to print a document with multiple pages
  3. Document is output in wrong order (last page prints last instead of first, so you have to rearrange the printed document by hand)
  4. Run system-config-printer and change 'Reverse Printing' to 'On' in printer options
  5. Do a test print to find this has no effect
  6. In 'Job options', click 'More' under common options and change 'Output order' to 'Reverse'
  7. Do a test print to find this has no effect

  The only workaround I have found, which was really not obvious at all,
  was to edit /etc/cups/printers.conf, and add

  Option outputorder normal

  before the closing </printer> tag of the relevant printer.

  I have only tested this under DCP197C but I expect similar printers in
  the series (including DCP195C) would also suffer from this problem.
  Perhaps it is caused by the recently introduced introduction of using
  PDF as the default job format instead of postscript
