in reply to Printing a postscript file with Win32::Printer

I did this once by looking through the PostScript preamble, patching the tray selection code in the PostScript file and then sending the file directly to the printer (via ftp), because luckily the printer understood PostScript directly.

This will obviously not work if you don't have native PostScript printers ...

    That sounds promising. So if I work out what PostScript to use for setting the MediaPostion attribute, and insert that into the file before printing, I could use Win32::Printer::Direct to print the page?

    I haven't yet found exactly where and how to use MediaPosition , but I'll provide you all an update when I do. :o)
