All the tray and paper facilities available from PostScript as well, and are the ones I use. Adobed added standard functions for these things in later revisions of PostScript, so an HP postscript printer will either use the standard method, or HP's proprietary extensions if the printer's postscript predates the addition of the extensions. Again, HP's support site has pages that describe both sets of functions. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
