RE: Printer configuration question

You nailed it, Chuck. I went digging down the path you provided and found
exactly what I needed. I modified one of their WSCO's to make the printer
think drawer three is drawer one, ran their commands to create the WSCST and
the device description.

Thanks also to Bill Scott from Canon who called with the solution I was
going to try next.

<<SNIP>> Xerox was almost a waste of time. The kid who answered the

who at least speaks English as their first language.

She couldn't help, but put me in the queue for a callback from a
mainframe guy.

FWiW: Xerox had referred to the Workstation Customization object [in
some online docs\articles] as WSCO instead of WSCST. The following
message may provide assistance, giving at least, a reference to some
tooling provided by Xerox; and other messages in the thread may be of
interest as well:
