You don't setup a printer called qtcups, it is a program (you may not have it installed, if not install it using YaST). Then specify qtcups as the printer name which will run the program called qtcups. This will give you more options for printing.
Actually, qtcups is deprecated, as per its man page. You should be using `kprinter'. What people have been trying to say, Michael, is that KDE printing is basically good to go. You set up your printers in KDE using the KDE configurator, and then QT-linked applications will run through those printers. On the other hand, other applications, like Mozilla, can be told to print using the command `kprinter' instead of `lpr'. This will feed the print job to the standard KDE dialog box that allows you to pick which printer you want to send to, along with its options, and it makes non-QT apps then follow your printing setup. Now none of this addresses how you actually get print jobs to spool backwards in your printer configuration. I'm not in Linux right now to check. (I'm in XP; my copy of 8.2 should be here this morning...) I would start looking at http://www.cups.org/ for some documentation on how to do this. In fact, as I google a little, I see that the option "OutputOrder=Reverse" ought to make the printer do what you want. The configuration GUI's may or may not expose this feature (though something else I read leads me to believe it does, perhaps just at print time), but you could always add it manually to the printer's definition in cupsd.conf. Sounds to me like you just need to fix your printer... Regards, dk
