I have set some options for the printer in the InstallableOptions, so
that the printer by default prints in a certain way:
Group "InstallableOptions/Options Installed"
Option "CutMedia/Cut Labels" PickOne AnySetup 10
Choice "False/No" "<</CutMedia 0>>setpagedevice"
Choice "PerLabel/After Each Label" "<</CutMedia 4>>setpagedevice"
*Choice "AllLabels/After All Labels Are Printed" "<</CutMedia
2>>setpagedevice"
But I want to be able to override that for a specific print jobs:
Group "General"
Option "CutMedia2/Cut Labels" PickOne AnySetup 10
Choice "None/Do not change default options" ""
Choice "False/No" "<</CutMedia 0>>setpagedevice"
Choice "PerLabel/After Each Label" "<</CutMedia 4>>setpagedevice"
Choice "AllLabels/After All Labels Are Printed" "<</CutMedia
2>>setpagedevice"
The latter options are shown in the Printer Features sub panel in the
print panel.
In the driver setup this picks up the options that I have set, and shows
the chosen options if I want to change it afterward, but how can I pick
up these settings in the General or Extra group so that the chosen
options in the printer setup are shown?
Or should i use another mechanism to save default print options for a
specific printer?
