reprinting from color pcl to BW PS

I was wondering if print distributor can do the following:
job was initially generated for a a PCL color printer
if the number of pages exceeds N and its color, print only to the BW postscript printer

Will tray feeds and output bin selection be translated from the original for the new printer

When I did a test specifying a PS BW printer as a reprint, the spool looked like PCL instead of PS.

Murray,

This will only work if your monochrome printer supports PCL.

We can test for colour but it isn't very reliable, if the driver is set to colour but the content of the document is black the flag will still say colour.

The print file goes through unchanged, tray settings do not get translated.
