I need a custom Win 3.1 printer driver written. We have two PostScript 
printers connected to a Buffalo printer sharer, used by a number of PCs.
The two printers have a total of 5 paper trays, and I need to treat them as
a single, 5-tray, PostScript printer in Windows. Three of the trays contain
various letterheads, and it's routine to need to have a single WfW file 
have to print page 1 to one printer, page 2 to a different tray on the other
printer, then the rest to another tray back on the first printer...

There is a simple 7-character sequence used to select one printer or the other.
These selection sequences can be placed anywhere, subject only to the printers
each ending up with a proper PostScript file.  In addition, since print speed
is not a critical concern and adequate disk space is available, it would be 
fine to use multiple workfiles and reassemble them into separate print jobs
to be routed to the individual printers/trays.  All that really matters is 
combining the two into a single "virtual" PostScript printer.

If you have source for a Win3 PostScript printer driver and would like to 
license it to me, or if you would be interested in doing the customizing
yourself, please contact me at jkb@s.ms.uky.edu.

I am also interested in hearing from people who can do custom WPD files for
the existing PSCRIPT.DRV (for another project).

Thanks!
