How do I select what tray/paper I want to print to?

Okay, I can't figure out how I'm supposed to tell iPhoto or whatever I'm printing from where to print from. Sometimes I've got legal in the back tray, sometimes it's photo paper. Same for the main tray. Depends on what's going on in my office.
How am I supposed to tell it where to go? I see presets but I can't duplicate the PAPER ON GLOSSY presets so I have to recreate them? I had to pull the main tray to make sure it wouldn't try and print from there since I'm printing pictures tonight.
I guess this is meant to keep people from screwing up printing but it's screwing up those of us who know what we're doing.

had the same problem on my new hp 7520: No option to select the photo tray in Photoshop Elements 10 on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.1).
The solution was to use a preset generated in the seperate program standard on the Mac, Preview.  The preset causes an additional window to pop up when you press print, and allows you to select the preset.  You don't see this window unless a preset has been generated.
To set a preset in Preview follow these steps (other programs could probably be used to set the preset as well):
1. Select a photo and select print.
2.  In the print screen select the paper size (eg. 4x6), then in the option that says preview use the drop down menu to select "printer features" which then brings up the options that we are looking for.  Set the paper type (eg. Hp premium papers) and source (photo tray).  Now go back to top and in the preset window select "save as" and give it a name (eg. 4x6 photo tray).   This has created a preset with specified paper quality, size and source which can be used in Photoshop.
Once the preset is established you can easily print to the photo tray from Photoshop:
1. Select a photo and select print.
2. Select the printer, paper size and print size (should match preset) and select print.
3.  Because of the preset, an additional window pops up allowing you to select the printer and the preset, then select print again to send it to the printer. 
Of course you can have a number of presets, for different sizes or types of papers, different source trays or even different printers.

  • How do I select which tray I would like to print from on my company printer?

    I am using a Mac and attempting to print a file from illustrator to the bypass tray of our company printer.  I am personally trying to print labels and I don't want to risk putting the labels in the main tray and have someone else print their document before I can push print on mine. I have done the due diligence of searching the internet for this issue but with no helpful results found just yet. Any advice?

    No, Preview renders and prints just fine for me.  And Preview doesn't have any problem printing to the Manual Feed tray.
    I do own Acrobat via CC and can install the full version for no additional cost.  However, in my opinion, Acrobat is so horribly bloated that I won't install it even though it's free (and again, I'm generally an Adobe fan).
    I do appreciate your suggestions, but the real issue here is that Illustrator should really have a functioning tray selection option.  I'm guessing that Adobe would argue that it's a printer-driver issue, but again, literally every other graphics application on OSX can print to the Manual Feed tray seamlessly, except for Adobe products.  Even Photoshop lets you actually select Manual Feed instead of Tray 1, however, the printer will still print from Tray 1 instead of the MF tray regardless of what I set.  Again, no other application exhibits this odd/errant behavior, so it's got to be something messed up with the way Adobe is doing it.
    Thanks for the feedback though, I appreciate it.

    Hi,
    How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

  • How do i select a custom paper size on the 6500A , specifics 18cmX26cm

    I want to print on a specific paper size, 18cmX26cm.  The suggestions from microsoft don't accuratly display my features or windows or the tabs that they say to click.  Also your forums seem to mislead the same information.  For the money I paid for this printer is not what I expected and very disappointed.  The lack of info is appalling, and confusing and just down right frustrating, leading me to conclude that your all as crazy as I am for trying to do something over and over, and expecting different results.   

    Hi,
    Which Microsoft product (application) are you using ? Printer supports the following custom sizes:
    From ADF: Custom-sized media (ADF) between 127 to 216 mm wide and 241 to 305 mm long (5 to 8.5 inches wide and 9.5 to 12 inches long)
    From input tray: Custom-sized media between 76.2 to 216 mm wide and 101 to 762 mm long (3 to 8.5 inches wide and 4 to 30 inches long)
    You need to select right custom size from the application.
    Regards.

  • I want to be able to select only the pages I want to print ei. 2-5 vs 1-8 but I can';t figure out how to edit the final #

    I want to economize on ink so I want to be able to select, for printing,only those pages that are important to me.. For example instead of printing pages 1 thru 8 , I may want to eliminate pictures and/or comments at the end of an article. I can adjust the beginning # but not the final one. Any help would be appreciated.

    Bonjour has nothing to do with this.
