I would like to find out the syntax for adding printer controls to my XML data so that I can dynamically change from Duplex to simplex and possibly using the stapler option and or a specific tray options. Please advise. We currently use the Planet Press Default PPD.

Hello,

XML data streams and your output options are really 2 very different things. You cannot drive your printer's features from your XML data.

The usual way to handle simplex to duplex is at the page level with conditions on the pages.

As for staple options, you can use the PPD that is designed for your printer and then use advanced paper handling features and put conditions on those.
