Just as an aside, John Tytgat has done a lot of work to make all that 
automatic eventually. Once his PPD support is released as part of the 
PostScript3 project, you will be able to install the PPD file from the 
driver disc that came with your printer and the RISC OS driver will 
offer all the options the printer supports in a dialogue box: tray 
selection, duplexing, advanced colour options, stapling, binding, 
sorting, etc. (subject to what the printer offers, of course).

The core functionality is working already, but integrating it into 
!Printers properly is tricky, so to keep things simple, that feature 
will not be part of the initial release of our PostScript3 driver (and 
before you ask, details about availability will be announced when the 
time has come).
