Re: Switch between Drawers within one Printerfile

[Peter.Colpaert@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Rob,

I did this once (long ago) for exactly the same reason.

If I recall correctly, I added some escape codes on the first line of the second
page, to instruct the printer to switch to a different drawer.

Of course, these escape codes will differ from printer to printer.

Also, you have to be careful that you choose the correct drawer the next time
you print something.

Is there an easy way to

û without breaking a printerfile apart in more than
one file

û send one page of a printerfile to printer drawer A and another
page of the same printerfile to printer drawer B ?
The decisive factor of sending a page to drawer X is retrieved from the
printerfile page header.
I need to do this since the paper in drawer A is pre-printed, and the paper
in drawer B is blank.
In other words, I need to be able to switch between drawers within one
printerfile.
