tray selection hp 8150

[fathead]

I have the 8150 working fine, but I need to create another printer that will print to tray 2 instead of tray 3(default). I have a customer that needs to print legal to tray 2 and letter to tray 3. SCO openserver 5.0.5...hp 8150n

What you want is the concept of virtual printers (see

http://pcunix.com/SCOFAQ/scotec7.html#virtualprint

)

The idea here is that a dumb printer interface is what actually prints to the printer; other "printers" set whatever control codes need to be set (such as the tray selection you want) and then pass it to the real printer.
