LaserWriter Driver 8 Versions: Retain Preferences Differently

Is there a way for the LaserWriter driver to retain the configuration information so it remembers that a LaserWriter Pro 630 has an envelope feeder?

I'm using two LaserWriter 8.1.1 drivers (differently named) on my PowerBook. I select one for my LaserWriter Pro 630 at home (which doesn't have an envelope feeder), and select another for my LaserWriter Pro 630 at work (which does have an envelope feeder). Neither driver can save these types of settings independently. What's wrong?
The LaserWriter driver 8.1.1 driver uses a Preferences file to store Envelope Feeder option information. All LaserWriter 8.1.1 drivers (regardless of what you name them) look to this file for option information, so there's no way to save settings independently.

A possible workaround is to use both LaserWriter driver 8.0 and 8.1.1, as it seems LaserWriter driver 8.0 stores its information in the LaserWriter 8 Preferences file differently. Of course, you don't get the benefits of LaserWriter driver 8.1.1 on one printer.
