Two possibilities:
1. Get Palladium from Project Athena. 8-). It might even work...
2. Cheat. You do this by providing multiple filters for the same printer.
How do you do this? Use a remote printcap definition that refers to
*the local host*. I currently use this for 300DPI/400DPI selection
for a SparcPrinter.
