If you want your trayfilter to be called in place of the default post 
processing filter, you should make the cost of the post processing filter 
greater than the xost of yours.
If oyu want both filters to be executed you need to write a script that 
calls both filters in the desired  order and replace the two *cupsFilter 
statements with one that names your script only.
