[H-GEN] reverse printing order

It's an HP 930c.
If I connect it locally on Windows or run it as a network printer on another
Windows PC, I can go into the properties and select 'front to back' or 'back
to front'. However, when I connect to it as a network printer on my Linux
box, that option does not appear in the properties page.
I assumed it was because Windows couldn't communicate with the printer in
the same way as it would if the printer was on a Windows box. The printer
status in Windows shows up as 'Access denied, unable to connect' but I am
still able to print (although the print jobs only appear for a couple
seconds so I can't cancel any jobs). Is this normal? If not, how should I go
about setting up my printer.
So I guess now, I want to know if I've got the printer set up properly and
why Windows won't show me the page order option (since it should be up to
the Windows driver to do right?). Can anyone help?
Thanks

What brand/model is the printer?
Are you only after the reverse order thing when printing from Windows or
Linux as well?
Do you expect Linux to receive the network print job and then do the
reversing?

I am pretty sure that the reverse printing feature is done with the driver.
