client page size not passed to renderer

Tue Feb 28 09:13:06 PST 2006

Can you somehow capture the data stream coming from the Windows XP box
when printing to the HP CP1700 or Business Inkjet 1100 and also from one
of the working printers? This way I have the chance to add an
alternative method to retrieve the user-selected paper size in foomatic-rip.
