[geeks] NT print server question

[Kevin]

I can create a special printer/spool with a certain tray set as
default, but i can't find a way off listing the "off limits" trays as
not being installed in the "normal" printer.  I could be wrong but
this looks like more of a printer driver function than it does an NT
function.

So far i have created a new printer (in cups/samba) for the people
who need to use the special trays and that is working fine.  I just
can't find a way of stopping others from using the special trays.
