Subject: PPR: HP 8100 not selecting banner pages right

We are installing two Hewlett-Packard 8100 DN (Duplex/Network) printers in our
department, and I'm having some difficulties. Everything works right except for
selecting a banner page from the top tray (we do banner pages in yellow). This
option works fine on our DEC 17/600s, HP 5Ms, and DEC 17ps+; I set flags to
"yes no", and ppop mount banner on the right bin.

I can't get that to work on these new printers. The banner page is printed, but
on white paper. I've tried the 8000 Series PPD that came with PPR--I've tried
the 8100 PPD from the NT driver.

By the way, I'm running PPR 1.32 on Digital Unix 4.0 (I haven't upgraded
because 1.40 is still in beta).
