[cups.general] Re: concate postscript [was: input tray selection - pdftops vs. ghostscript]

[Till Kamppeter]

foomatic-rip from linuxprinting.org does mid-job changing of all 
options, restarting GhostScript if needed (if new PJL commands are 
necessary or the GhostScript command line has to be changed).

One simply specifies options with page ranges:

lpr -P printer -o 1-3:MediaType=ThickPaper -o 1-3:InputSlot=Upper -o 
ColorMode=Gray -o 8-10,13,18-:ColorMode=RGB -o 
odd:WaterMark=Confidential file.ps
