print banner page from different tray

[christoph550]

In an entreprise environment it is very common to use job separator pages printed on colored paper coming from a separate tray of the printer. Unfortunately with CUPS I can not manage to do just that: Define another tray for the banner usage in the banner page filter or the banner page definition. There must be a way to over come this - right ?

Thanks for any help !

CUPS 2.5 is adding support for the "job-sheets-col" option/attribute, which allows you to specify the media (incl. source/tray) to use for the banner page.

Thanks - that sounds promising - is there a rel;ease date for 2.5 yet ?

Sorry, no. We are all just volunteers here and are still working through the last issues before we can go to beta...
