Subject: PPR: Auto Collating
I have a printer that can do auto collated copies (Kyocera 7000+) the relevant part of the ppd file is listed at the bottom of this
long email.
Would the following alterations be sufficient to enable the printer to do the collating?
To pprdrv.c static void select_copies_method(void)
- - if(!job.opts.collate )
+ if(!job.opts.collate || auto_collate )
to pprdrv_req.c write_requirement_comments(void)
- - if(job.opts.collate) /* Since I know of no printer which can collate */
+ if(job.opts.collate) /* Since there are few printers which can collate */
printer_puts(" collate"); /* auto copies, it seems likely that this will */
- - /* never be TRUE. */
+ /* rarely be TRUE. */
printer_putc('\n');
}
- - } /* end of dump_document_requirements() */
+ } /* end of write_requirement_comments() */
I would also need an option to ppr and/or ppad do you have any preference for what to call the option "auto_collate" ?
If this is all that is necessary I will create a real patch and send it to you.
