I am using a Lexmark Z705 printer with my iMac,the problem is:
When I priny multilpe pages,the printer always prints the pages in reverse order,I would prefer printing page one first,but I cannot find a way to change the settings to make this happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Van

Most printers will print in that order so that you're not having to restack the print job. It's a pitr when you want to start reading it as soon as it comes off the printer though.

See the pic below for the settings:

That's the problem, I never get a pop up like you show,so I have no options to change the settings.

Even my other printer an 8 year old Epson allows me the option to selact how it prints the pages-No more Lexmarks for me.

Might make sure you've got the latest driver for the Lexmark.

Grab it here.

Make sure that system is using the correct driver, though (se here) - it should NOT be a Guttenburg driver. If you need to reinstall the drivers that came with Leopard, use the bundle installer from the system disks and under options choose the Lexmark drivers.
