I create tools for a larger pharmaceutical company and their trend is to use networked office printers instead of desktop printers, so i.e. a xerox copystation has all those options (even an old lexmark optra s 1855 I have at my desk has them...) and currently I need to show up a printer dialog to the user so that he/she manually selects the options necessary each time (which means lost time before the print job could be sent, each time you sent a print job) and since all the parameters could be accessed from the printer dialog I assume it would not be a too much complicated job for Real Software to make these parameters accessible from the code as new printer object parameters or as an overloaded printerobject.open (sourcetray as integer, outputtray as integer, duplexer as boolean, stitch as integer) for example.
Couldn't you just store the PrinterSetup string? Since it's a binary string, you need to store it Base64 encoded. I've done this in one of my applications where the user can select the printer and configure it separately from actually printing the job.
