I have a HP DeskJet 5940 printer, running on cups under SUSE 10.0. I wanted to correct the printing order generally for all printing jobs, because would be not reasonable to touch all the client machines, user accounts, preferred programs, etc.
Read the "CUPS Software Users Manual", in particular the section "Document Options". Furthermore see for example http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Print_Settings_with_CUPS
I went for howtos and faqs and found a tipp for CUPS, saying that I should modify a single line in the .ppd file of my printer and changing it to *DefaultOutputOrder: "reverse"
I use the hpijs driver directly from the vendor as I know and downloaded the generated .ppd from http://www.linux-printing.org , which really doesn't have the equivalent for the above line. So I just inserted that line and also tried the *DefaultOutputOrder: Reverse
Read the documentation to get an understanding how all the parts work together before following random "tips" to hack whatever stuff into a PPD file. For example read http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell to see what a PPD file is and how it works.
