At the time I wrote my message I was under the impression I was sending one stream of PCL to the printer and switching trays, but in fact I am sending two separate streams. (with my non-GTK software) Changing trays may be out of the question, but I do know that Postscript allows per-page paper orientation changes. I have a few PDFs that do so. The software that is demanding this is in the pharmaceutical industry where they need all sorts of odd shaped data to print in different ways to different paper sizes and trays in one go. I have it working for me now without too much pain, but if I ever have an epiphany I'll be sure to share it.
