I could not find mention of this ability of gs from a web search, thanks.
I hope gs can also print in reverse numerical order.

There is a pdftops and/or pdf2ps CLI utility included with gs and/or xpdf.


netpbm would still print a lot faster than gs, so a little script would 
still be nice, but I can wash dishes while I wait.

Or probably BL3 with a few libc6 files added.
