printing options

hi!

i'm developing a custom linux driver for an old non-postscript printer (a custom filter based on the cups ddk, while using the default parallel port backend). so far i've had considerable success with the printer driver as i can now successfuly print. most of the time that is. :)

right now i'm trying to tailor the ppd file for printing options like supported media types and sizes, etc. my question: is there a way to automatically set standard printing options based on the selected ppd options? for example, automatically setting the "mirror" or "scaling" options if a particular media type is selected, like "transparency". i can manipulate the raster data from inside the filter depending on the media type selected, but i guess it would be much more efficient if i let ghostscript do the work.

many thanks!
