I'm not sure this is even possible. Tray select, duplex, etc... are often encoded in either the PCL preamble of a print job or in a PJL envelope [common for Postscript]. They really are attributes of the *job*. I'd guess that Gtk/GNOME would have to 'emulate' this behavior by splitting the ob silently into multiple jobs. That could get wierd. -- Adam Tauno Williams GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
