Hi Paul :-) Just guesses.... 1. When you initially create/export the pdf can you create it in reverse order?
I was just thinking the same thing.
2. Looking at the man page for lp (not lpr) there is an -P option used to specify a page range. If your really lucky specifying a backwards range may reverse the page order for you? As I said this is just I guess! I have not tried it because I don't have access to a printer currently. lp -P 16-1 printInReverse.pdf
Other option I guess is run the command 16 times, one command for each page from 16 backwards (not that much of a hassle really for only 16 pages).
Aside: According to my man pages for lpr and lp they are copyright to Apple Inc. which was a surprize!
The CUPS printing system is developed by Apple and AFAIK lpr is part of Cups.
From the CUPs web site - http://www.cups.org/"CUPS is the standards-based, open source printing system developed by Apple Inc. for Mac OS® X and other UNIX®-like operating systems."
I gather it wasn't originally started by Apple, but they bought the project. I guess they must use it in OSX so no doubt it's released under a BSD type license.
