[SUGGESTION] switching trays in printjob

Fri Sep 7 06:03:35 PDT 2007

Hi Kurt

thanks for the infor about modifying the ppd, So I proceeded as follows:

Today I'm sitting in front of a HP4650, which is able to process PS...

I took the PPD from here:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic-db/db/source/PPD/HP/hp_color_LaserJet_4650.ppd
and modified it as you said, as it has no "Auto"

and verified it:
lpoptions -p HPLJ4650HDN_PS -l | grep InputSlot
InputSlot/Paper Source: *Auto Tray1 Tray2 Tray3 Tray4

created a document as outlined in a previous post by you, Page 1 on Tray 3, Page 2 on Tray 4.... crossed fingers - didn't help.

So I stopped the printer in cups, to fetch the control and print file, did a "strings" over it, here is the output:

As far as I'm able to read PS, I can see that the actual PS file contains the tray switching instructions, the only thing that worries me is the control file, which says something about Tray3 and nothing about "Auto" or "and Tray4"

I'm now about fideling with the RAW queue....

thanks and regards
Philipp
