I am planning to attach my Apple Macintosh to a 3rd party postscript
printer which has multiple paper trays. I would like to use the standard
Apple laserwriter driver (or slightly modified version thereof)
and be able to specify which paper tray to use from one of its dialogs
("page setup" or "print") .
Is such a modified version of the Apple laserwriter driver already available?
If not, is it possible to add hooks into the their laserwriter driver so
that I can modify one of its dialogs by adding a button or two,
and writing my own "hook" routines which would respond to these new
button inputs? I can then generate the postscript commands to do a tray
select.
