SuSE Linux: Versions up to (including) 7.3
You want to address a specific tray.
You have a PostScript printer.
From SuSE Linux 8.0 on, please refer to the "Reference" manual.
Up to SuSE Linux 7.3:
It is possible to address a specific printer tray via a PostScript command.
An example is shown in
/var/lib/apsfilter/preloads/tray.ps
.
Use a file similar to this as "preload" in
/etc/apsfilterrc
or in /etc/apsfilterrc.DRIVER
:
PRELOADS="/var/lib/apsfilter/preloads/tray.ps"
The procedure with preloads is explained in the manual's apsfilter configuration section, in the chapter on printing. Alternatively, you can read the article "Printing: Gamma Correction (Adjusting the brightness)" which can be found in our support database by entering the keyword "gamma".
We include an additional suggestion by Dirk Schneider:
Situation: Different users have to be able to print on different printer trays. For this purpose, we have created two files: "outbin1.ps" and "outbin2.ps", which have been added to the other optional preloads in the directory "/var/lib/apsfilter/preloads/". Now the pertinent file has to be entered in the apsfilterrc for the respective printer (in our case /etc/apsfilterrc.PS_1200dpi): PRELOADS="/var/lib/apsfilter/preloads/outbin1.ps" (or outbin2.ps) The file for Lexmark Optra S2455 looks like this: -----8<------>8----- %!PS << /OutputAttributes << /Priority [1] >> >> setpagedevice -----8<------>8----- The 1 following "/Priority" indicates the number of the corresponding tray, 1 stands here for the first ADDITIONAL tray, 2 for the second ADDITIONAL tray, etc.
