I try on linux, but I assume it's the same on Windows...

I stumbled over this some time ago, but it does not solve the issue, as users probably some time want to print a radom selected page from some slot... but thanks for pointer!

Oh, that was "W2 UNGÜLT PERS" -> Invalid personality, somehow the printer does not like the PS CUPS throws at it...

/me using Winword?! - goash, that would be the day... no my fellow users do ;)
It's O2K and OXP, you fire it up and define under Page Settings (or something like it) to print one page on tray 1 and then you make some kind of manual break to define that the second page appears on another tray - you are basicaly free to have a document with any number of pages and define for any page an individual tray.

The drivers are those from the HOW-TO's dor setting up samba with cups, but before I go into the pit of samba and printing I though it would be nice to do it without all that stuff and try it over OO+cups.

thanks & regards
