</div></div>Well, then in addition insert the following lines into your PPDs (folowing<br>
the DefaultColorSpace line:<br>
<br>
*JobPatchFile 1 : "<</ProcessColorModel /DeviceXXX>>setpagedevice"<br>
<br>
where XXX = Gray for the grayscale queue and XXX = CMYK or RGB<br>
(whatever is listed in the DefaultColorSpace line).<br>
