Raph,

You forgot to include the modified zmedia2.c that has the change
to support:

Also can you include the modifications that the customer will need to
replace the InputAttributes dictionary and the sample you used for
testing?

If you want someone else to test, you should ask specifically. I'm off
the hook since I don't have a PCL capable printer.

Once you send the other info, I'll be glad to do some testing of the
selection logic (I'll just check for the string in the output, but I
can't tell if it actually works to a printer).
