We've been using NEC 890's as network printers with one bin normally
containing letterhead and the other plain paper.  Now we've
added an HP IIID w/postscript cartridge, thinking "postscript is
postscript" so the printers should all be interchangable.  It turns
out the the NEC uses 1 and 2 for arguments to setpapertray, the
HP cartridge uses 0, 1, and 2, with 2 being the envelope feeder.
Now everything that is supposed to come out on letterhead goes onto
envelopes instead...  Do I really have to use separate printer drivers
to handle this?   The jobs are mostly generated by networked DOS machines,
but the printers are actually driven by a unix print spooler so it
would be possible to toss out some postscript code ahead of the job
if it is feasible to redefine this.
