The closest I have ever come is writing a small Python program to send
JCL commands to a Kyocera/Mita Printer-Scanner-Photocopier so I could
control how the machine duplexes, staples, and punches holes. Otherwise
I only deal with PostScript printers because PostScript

(And I do not have to buy my own printers, so it's PS all the way!)
You do not need to send JCL commands to do the fancy things, that is
what PPD (PostScript Printer Description) files are for, but I did not
know that at the time :)
