Cups question dejavue

Greetings;

It appears the cups mailing list has been deleted, easyws.com is now 
cups.com, and the apple exclusivity is now complete.  Are we going to have 
to reinvent a new, open source cups?

That leaves me with no place (mailing list I was subscribed to when it was 
active) to ask how do I change the binding ditch option, when using the 
long edge binding option, its on the wrong edge of the paper when running 
in duplex mode, which a Brother HL3179CDW color laser printer can do.  The 
hole punch, or binding edge is on the right of odd pages and left on even 
pages, the opposite of what it should be.

When using the cups editor at localhost:631, I note that while it does 
display the choice of long-edge or short-edge binding, it does not show the 
output order, which in the .PPD file, defaults to reverse, which has to do 
with whether the image is on top, or the bottom as it arrives on the output 
tray.  But without the proper editor, I am hesitant to change that in the 
.PPD with gedit.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene
