The Imagen 12/300 (Ricoh engine) prints pages in the "correct" order;
i.e., the first page into the printer comes out first.  This is the
opposite order from the way the 8/300 prints pages.  My question is
this -- is there any way to ask the printer to print the header page
BEFORE the job rather than after?  I've managed to hack the software to
turn off pagereversal, but the header still comes out wrong.

Actually, I'm less than impressed with the specific support for the
12/300 printer.  The software was all generic 8/300 software (except
for the fonts), the Makefiles didn't work, and this pagereversal
problem has cropped up as well.  If you don't have a fairly experienced
Unix hacker around, you might want to stay away from this one for a
while.  We've also had a persistent problem with toner streaking in the
engine.  (If we didn't have these problems, we'd be pretty happy.)
