Subject: RE: PPR: HP 8100 not selecting banner pages right

Never mind. I didn't realize that the HP 8100's had about 20 bins designated in
the PPD file, and PPR was complaining about too many bins (and only showing 8
of them). Therefore, the bins with the color paper weren't even showing up as
mountable in ppop media. I deleted all of the extraneous bins, and everything
works fine again.
