I am doing this with a routing filter that scans the postscript and looks for the flag
that states "transparency" or "Tray 2" (the tray we keep transparencies in) routes to
different queues and charges accordingly.
My perl script uses the following variables in the check.
$TRANSPARENCYTYPE = "\"MediaType Transparency\"";
$PLAINTYPE = "\"\*MediaType Plain\"";
$TRAY2 = "\"\*InputSlot Tray2\"";
We have only been using it for a couple of months, but it works so far. Our primary
problem is teaching our users how to select transparency type media for our HP 4500N
I can send my kludgy scripts if it would be of use.
