Some printer attributes can bet set via XPrintable::setPrinter(), they
are described in com.sun.star.view.PrinterDescriptor:
published service PrinterDescriptor
{
[property] string Name;
[property] com::sun::star::view::PaperOrientation PaperOrientation;
[property] com::sun::star::view::PaperFormat PaperFormat;
[property] com::sun::star::awt::Size PaperSize;
[readonly, property] boolean IsBusy;
[readonly, property] boolean CanSetPaperOrientation;
[readonly, property] boolean CanSetPaperFormat;
[readonly, property] boolean CanSetPaperSize;
};
Additionally some parameters can be set in each individual print() call:
published service PrintOptions
{
[property] short CopyCount;
[property] string FileName;
[property] boolean Collate;
[property] boolean Sort;
[property] string Pages;
[optional, property] boolean Wait;
};
Seems that the PaperBin is not accessible via API.
As VCL can handle the PaperBin explicitly I think that this is just an
omission in the PrinterDescriptor service. Feel free to create an issue
(in framework) for that.
Ciao,
Mathias
