Since we have a fairly limited set of available DMBIN_???, some approximation could be used. For all missing bins we could just assign some reasonable value, for instance DMBIN_AUTO:
I wrote a little test program to see what Windows reports for these different bin types, and the results are interesting. On Windows NT 4, both the Microsoft and Adobe PostScript drivers seem to just map every- thing to DMBIN_USER+x values! For example, I installed the "IBM 4019 LaserPrinter PS17" driver (PPD file attached), and got the following from DeviceCapabilities:
DC_BINNAMES DC_BINS
Automatically Select DMBIN_FORMSOURCE Upper 256 Lower 257 Envelope 258 EnvelopeManual 259 Manual Feed DMBIN_MANUAL
(Note that every printer driver I tried had the "Automatically Select" and "Manual Feed" entries.)
Based on this, I see no reason to try to guess what the appropriate DMBIN* type is for undocumented *InputSlot values. In my mind, the question is whether we should use the mappings in Adobe's PPD spec or completely emulate the Windows behavior.
Thoughts?
