Is there any method for patching the Apple-supplied LaserWriter driver
to accommodate a different printer?  Specifically, we have a TI OmniLaser
2115 with two paper trays & no manual feed capability.  Is there any way
to modify the driver so we can replace the manual feed statements with the
equivalent postscript code to select the alternate paper tray?  This is
perfered greatly to creating a postscript dump of a file & making the
changes by hand.

Thanks for any help.
