Backward Printing?
by Bob Thomson
Ever since I owned a personal computer in the early 1980's, printers have printed material starting with page 1 and proceeded to print the rest of the document in "page order". Cut sheet paper would thus be in reverse order. Then I would manually re-sort the pages into the correct order. In early times the output was on fanfold paper, so we would also have to tear the sheets apart and trim the edges. No more!	I recently upgraded to Windows XP Pro. On several occasions I have decided to printout an article from the Internet. On many of these occasions the article was several pages long. To my surprise these articles were organized by Win XP Pro to print the last page first and then the next to the last and so on until the first page is on top of the pile. No longer is it necessary to re-sort the pages into order. It has already been done for you.
