printing pages in reverse order

This may be a FAQ, but I have not found the answer anywhere.  Does anyone now  
how to reverse the order in which the NeXT printer prints out pages?  That is,  
how can I make so that the printer begins printing with the first page of a  
document instead of the last page of a document?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

If it is I couldn't find it with Librarian.

I use /usr/lib/transcript/psrev in a shell script as the output filter in the  
queue.  psrev accepts POSTSCRIPT input on its stdin, reverses the page order  
and places the output on its stdout.
