[STR New]

hello,
i try to select the paper input tray for some pcl-printers. but this don't
work.

i make tests with two settings and compare the spool-files, but there is
no difference in the files.

i don't know, how cups send this information to the printer, but i find a
way, to insert information in the ppd-file, to select the input-tray:
i changed this line in the ppd-file:
*cupsPJL Jog: "@PJL SET OUTTRAY=TRAY%s%n"
to:
*cupsPJL Jog: "@PJL SET MEDIASOURCE=TRAY2%n at PJL SET OUTTRAY=TRAY%s%n"

with this patch, i can select a fix input tray in the ppd-file, which
solve my problem at the moment.

i have searched for the source of the ppd-file for this printer:
PPD file for AR-P450 PCL5e with CUPS
to change it, so the line for the MEDIASOURCE is inserted at the top of
the spool-file, but i don't find this source.
if the ppd-file is changed, it may be possible, to select the tray with
the webbrowser und not only with an editor in the ppd-file.

goodby
