- If you mean, can you make the paper run backwards, I'm pretty sure you
- can do this on an Imagewriter with the right control codes, but I can't
- imagine why you'd want to. When printing from a Macintosh, your program
- just draws the page, and then tells the computer to print it, which it
- does, from top to bottom. (slightly oversimplified here, but it's the
- general idea.)
