We've been using NEC 890's as network printers with one bin normally containing letterhead and the other plain paper. Now we've added an HP IIID w/postscript cartridge, thinking "postscript is postscript" so the printers should all be interchangable. It turns out the the NEC uses 1 and 2 for arguments to setpapertray, the HP cartridge uses 0, 1, and 2, with 2 being the envelope feeder. Now everything that is supposed to come out on letterhead goes onto envelopes instead... Do I really have to use separate printer drivers to handle this? The jobs are mostly generated by networked DOS machines, but the printers are actually driven by a unix print spooler so it would be possible to toss out some postscript code ahead of the job if it is feasible to redefine this.
