Your understanding is appreciated.

I reckon page management is more the province of the pdftopdf filter
than the hpcups driver. Anyway, I set up a print queue and did (as
root) on unstable:
cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/2700.ppd -m application/vnd.cups-pdf /etc/services > test.pdf
with *DefaultOutputOrder: "reverse" in the PPD. The PDF shows the pages
in reverse order. Perhaps you could actually print some small file to
the printer, which I cannot do, to test this observation.
Cheers,
Brian.
