As far as I know this is controlled by the software you're trying to 
print from. It should be a matter of setting it in (for example) the 
page setup of Word or whatever you're trying to print from. If the 
command is unavailable, either your driver is dodgy or the software or 
driver doesn't support that option.

For my Epson printer, if I click File/Print, the click the Properties 
button and choose the Layout tab, I get a "Page Order" option. (I'm 
doing this in Mozilla Firebird, YMMV.) The two options are "Front to 
Back" and "Back to Front". I believe in MSWord the option is "Last page 
first" or something like that. (Wouldn't know, don't have it installed. 
OOo 1.1 has been released and it looks rather spiffy.)
