Konica-Minolta Bizhub C450 driver tricks

We found our Bizhub C450 (with Fiery Rip) lacking in functionality. We could not use the Thick1 paper type with the booklet function. This should work as we had tried to use the booklet function with a Thick1 kind of paper and set the paper type to normal in the driver, and the printer had no problem folding this thick paper. But the driver would not allow the combination of Thick1 and booklet.

Also we wanted to be able to create booklets from documents that where laid 2 pages up on one document page. The driver would only allow us to create booklets where each page where separate in the document.

A couple of edits in the file: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\EF3M3A27.PPD
did the trick.

Comment out lines 339 and 340
