I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I have another Xerox question.

We're using a Xerox printer here as well, and I noticed that you can
only draw from two sources (plus the envelope tray). However, on our
Xerox, tray one is legal, tray two is ledger, tray three is letter and
tray four is letterhead. Can the other two trays be added some way to
the printer definition, or are we SOL?

This should be relatively easy with WSCST.

Use RTVWSCST to convert your current host print transform into a WSCST
source file. Then add specifications for the two extra drawers, compile
it, and change your device description to usei.

Here's an IBM page that talks about defining drawers:

WE had weird problems trying to use tray 3 or tray 4. In my conversations with
a Xerox tech, he told me that selecting tray 3 or 4 using WSCST resulted in a
command string longer than was allowed. That was why he suggested using a
separate outq dedicated to tray 4 only.

Has something changed? It has been (I think) v4r5 since this was implemented.
