I want to send codes like 'print diacritic >code', 'change feeder', 'change page orientation' e.t.c. My printer >(customer's printer) has very extended interface and I have to use it. >Do you have any idea? >Kuba Królikowski I tend to agree with the others that FOP is not the place for printer control. What tray or feeder a document prints from should not be a part of the document. One option is post processing on the output. If you output to PostScript or PCL you can "wrap" the output with PJL commands to select the printing and finishing options you want. On most modern printers PJL gives you almost complete access to all the printers functions and features.
