Has anybody experienced this ?
I don't have tried a downgrade on i3 yet.

Thanks for your answers, but actually I have two screens : laptop one LDVS-0 and LCD DP-1. I sometimes take my laptop with me, and would like my tray to follow. That's why primary is good.
Note that it used to work, but I didn't pay attention which update had it gone.
I will probably go with tray_output DP-1 as a workaround, but it's no good solution.
@bstaletic : which XDG variables ? Here is what i have :
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
XDG_SEAT=seat0
XDG_SESSION_ID=c1
XDG_VTNR=7

Different Queues for each paper tray

Our customers wish to simply have to select a printer without selecting additional tray outputs (ok, it´s not myself , its a customer of mine, a lacy one).
Is there a way to add separate printer queues for each tray? E.g. "Printer Tray1 - white paper" and "Printer Tray2 - preprinted"...
Then the employees only have to select the one or other printer, the remaining process will be done automatically.
Thanks for your tipps.
Klaus

If you go to the CUPS web interface you can set the default paper tray/size etc for the printer:
http://127.0.0.1:631
Click the "Printers" section at the top of the page, scroll down to the printer you want to set up, then click "Configure printer" - you see all the options applicable to the printer.
I've used this to automate print routines, and it works perfectly.
Just set up multiple "virtual" printers for the same device with different settings for paper tray/size.
You will need to do this on the local machine, and have an admin password.

Any printer UI for change printer settings?

Since Solaris 10's printing system is powered by PPD files. (at least for some printers). I suppose I can access all features PPD file provide: Change page size, input-tray, output-tray, color-mode, etc.
Is there a GUI that comes with Solaris that can help me change printer settings? (The printer manager is useless)
How do I tell what command line option a PPD file provides? (Yes, I can write my own script to parse the PPD file for OpenUI, CloseUI), but what's Sun's solution for it?

/usr/sadm/admin/bin/printmgr &
Don't ask me why it's in a weird location.
It's the Best GUI In The World -
gives you the option of a console
window, so you can see what it's
doing on the command-line in
response to your button-clicks.
Dunno about the PPDs.
cheers.

Embed pcl or postscript commands in pdf

Hello!
I am currently facing the problem, that I want to specify the paper-source tray for the pages of a pdf, that is sent directly to the printer. I know that there is no way to do this directly in the PDF. Or are there plans to put this into one of the next standards?
Printing PDFs on the printer using "PDF Direct" for example works great, but we also need to select different trays.
So, I am now trying to add PJL/PCL commands in front of the PDF, but these PJL commands are valid only for the whole PDF. And I only got it to work one time, that a PDF with the PJL/PCL commands in front, was printed from the desired tray.
Well, now here is my question: Is there a way to add PCL or even Postscript commands to a PDF and specify the tray on a per PDF or even per page granularity? And how would I achieve this?
Or in general: How can I embed Postscript commands into a PDF?
Thanks for your help!
Kind regards,
Johannes

The PDF specification does provide a feature referred to as a PostScript XObject which permits embedding PostScript fragments within a PDF file. However, use of PostScript XObjects is strongly discouraged as many if not most software processing PDF files either totally ignore these objects and are unlikely to pass them onto printing devices either at all or in a consistent fashion. For example, printers and RIPs based on the Adobe PDF Print Engine totally ignore any PostScript XObjects. When printing from Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to a PostScript device, it is very unlikely that any embedded PostScript XObjects would appear in the proper location within the resultant PostScript job to properly select input tray, output tray, and/or finishing options.
There is no way of embedding PCL in a PDF file.
The concept behind PDF workflows is that content and production instructions are maintained separately. Graphically rich content in a device independent form at the highest level of abstraction is carried by the PDF file. Job processing instructions including paper types, tray selections, copy count, duplexing, collation, and finishing options are transmitted separately in a job ticket, often JDF. None of international standards such as PDF/X or PDF/A support any embedded job ticketing or job control functions.

How to print output of XML Publisher report in different trays of a printer

Hi All,
I have a requirement in XML Publisher Report. I need to print all pages other than last one in one tray of a printer and the last page has to be printed in another tray of the same printer.
Can anyone help me out...
Thank You..

I do not think it is possible to send all the pages to one tray and send only the last page to a different tray. However, you may review the following notes:

Printing the XML Publisher report output from different trays of printer.

I am generating the XML Publisher report and the output is in 5 pages and that is sent to the printer
In the printer there are two trays one tray(tray 1) consists of company watermarked papers and the other tray(tray 2) will be consisting of ordinary papers
I want to print the first two pages of the report on the papers of first tray and the remaining pages to be printed from another tray consisting of ordinary papers.
How can i do this in XML Publisher.
Any response will be appreciated
Thanks
Saurav

Look at the links AJ gave.
Basically what you will do is create a Data Definition and assign a Data Template to it. Create a (document) Template and assign it to your data definition. You will use the XML Publisher Java API classes to pass parameters to your data template and extract the XML data. Then you will use this in conjunction with your document template and the OAF integration region to present the final output to the user.
All of these things are in the XML Publisher documentation and Javadocs.

How do I remove the Output Tray of my HP OfficeJet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer

I cannot remove the Output Tray. I do some printing two-sided (one in color, the other b&w). Removing the Main Input Tray to place the paper for Side 2 is time-consuming. It would be much easier to take the just-printed Side 1 as it's completed, then simply lay it correctly on top of the blank sheets in the Main Input Tray to print Side 2. I am unable to remove the Output Tray. The store's salesman said it should be easy to remove and re-install, but that it may held in place by a piece of tape. I am prone to breaking things I'm trying to work on. I don't want to break my 4-months old printer! Any ideas? Thanks.

The main part of the output tray is not removable. There are a few alternatives: the input tray can be pulled partially open and the printed pages loaded in it - it should not be necessary to remove the input tray completely. The other possibility would be to just print using the automatic duplexer. If you are printing on plain paper or index paper this should work, it would not be suitable for printing on the back side of photo paper.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus output tray miss-installed

The output tray on my new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is partially miss-installed. There is a clip on each side of the underside of the output tray which is supposed to engage tips on each side of the frame for the paper tray. Apparently, when the output tray on my unit was installed at the factory, the clip on the left side ended up above the tip which it is supposed to engage. This leaves the output tray slightly tipped to the right and results in output pages not stacking as neatly as they should. This could be easily corrected if someone would tell me how to disengage the output tray from the body of the printer. It's been working fine, I don't really want to have to take it back for an exchange just to correct what could be easily fixed by removing the tray and pushing it back on carefully while engaging both clips.

Output Tray 2 does not work when we print a smartforms document immediately

Dear printer specialists,
we've the following issue:
We are printing the same smartforms document in different plants. One plant decided to get the print output into output tray 2 of the printer (lower tray), so we've copied the standard device type into a z-device type and made the SPAD set-up with a preselection for the tray 2 (lower tray). The new device type has been assigned to the output device. Now we made a test and released the print-output for an immediate printing. The output was printed as before in tray 1 (upper tray). When we restart the output from the spool (SP01), the output will be printed in tray 2. Why does this not work, when we print immediately ? Does anyone know how to solve this problem ? (We don't want to change the smartforms document.)
Thany you for every information to solve this problem.
Kind regards, Wolfgang

HI,
Check if there is a different tra setting in the smartform itself.

Adobe forms - format G_RAW - output tray

Hello,
I was using formats of device type (DINA4) to print sapscript formulars in different output trays. Now I have switched to adobe forms.
Adobe forms are always printed (as I've understood) in G_RAW format, and not in DINA4 format as I want.
For my printer ( KYO FS95XX PCL POSS, Driver HPL2 HP Laserjet) I'm not able to manipulate output trays in "Printer initialization" for G_RAW format (in SPAD).
Example for DINA4:
Example for G_RAW:
Do you have any suggestion how to:
1. Change format from G_RAW to DINA4?
2. To manipulate output trays of G_RAW format?
Thanks,
Evgenij

Hello Evgenij,
the reason why format G_RAW doesn't have any printer actions (e.g. tray commands) in default is that the contents of this format will not be evaluated by R/3.
In contrast, the contents of a DINA4 spool (SAPScript / SmartForm) will be interpreted according to the OTF rules. This means that storing an ADS (Adobe Document Services) data in DINA4 format could cause errors which hinder the printing of that spool, because ADS can not generate spools in OTF format.
These mean the following:
ADS spools should only be stored in G_RAW format. No other format should be selected as it could have unforeseen consequences (so the spool won't be printed)
Editing the "Printer initialization" of G_RAW for tray commands is not needed, because:
SAP KBA #2111085 - "Tray control in SAP" describes how tray selection can be done for ADS spools:
"You can select the tray using a job profile (see SAP Note 1743567) or by making a change to the XDC file and selecting the paper size assigned to the tray in the form or using a job profile (see SAP Note 766410)."
"If this has not been done and you choose "Additional Print Options" and select print options here (including using a default setting for the output device), these are used."
"You can define print tickets again in the definition of the output device in transaction SPAD. If no print options are selected in the print dialog box, the print ticket passed to the form interface by the print program is used (field IE_OUTPUTPARAMS-PRINTTICKET when the function module FP_JOB_OPEN is called)."
"If no print ticket is passed by the print program, the print ticket for which the "Standard Print Ticket" indicator is set for the output device is used. For this, you must use the report RSPO0021 to set the parameter SPAD_TRAY_IFBA."
"If there is no standard print ticket, the system uses the tray set on the "Output Attributes" tab in the definition of the output device in transaction SPAD (if the parameter SPAD_TRAY_IFBA is set)."
Best regards,
Laszlo

Output printing from specific printer tray

Hi,
We have a printer with each tray containing different paper, in our case it is the color. Based on the output we want to print, we want it to come out on a paper from a particular tray so that outputs of type X are on yellow, and type Y on pink etc. Can we accomplish this through printer definition within SAP or we are doomed to writing ABAP of some kind and passing commands "behind the scenes?"
Thank you,
Mike

HI
I think this would require programming to determine the tray to be used.The problem is that each printer model can have different tray selection commands that are required.Also, if the form is used across multiple areas,each area might have different models.
However,for a single printer YES,the form would have to be specific to the printer being used.
Regards
Chen

Cannot select output tray on a stapler stacker using universal print drivers

With universal print derivers 5.2, we cannot select output tray for print job on a stapler stacker. All jobs are set to automatic output and only uses the lower tray, not other trays.

Hi drlake,
I understand that you are having issues with printing specialty paper/labels after updating your computer. It would be best if you posted your question on the HP Laser jet Commercial Site <here>.
This would be the best place to find your answer.
Thank you

Printing from Script Output tab defaults to Tray 1

Using the print icon on the Script Output tab sends the document to our multi-tray printer (a HP LaserJet 4050TN) but defaults to Tray 1 - the manual input tray. There is no way to change it - even choosing a specific tray in the print properties doesn't appear to do anything.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Daniel

Followup.
This problem has been reported before:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromebook-central/xHLtvK4YK0I
The Duplex setting in the Cloud Print dialog works for the pending print job, but changes to the setting don't "stick". I've worked around by leaving a stack of our normal print paper in tray 1, in addition to the stack in tray 2. Chromebooks print to the Tray 1 by default; local workstations print to Tray 2. Ugly; will shorten life of device.

Output Tray Problem - Old c8088a finisher with new 9050dn printer

I recently switched from printing with a 9000dn with an c8088a finisher to a new 9050dn paired with the old c8088a finisher.
With the old combination, I could make jobs go to the "upper left stacker" output tray on the finisher by prepending the job with the escape code \E&l2G. With the new combination of printer and finisher, the old escape sequence no longer works, and jobs go to the top tray. I have also tried other escape sequences, replacing the '2' with other digits that refer to "mail bins" and so forth. None worked.
I know the finisher works, because if I use the printer's menu to change the default output tray to the "upper left stacker", then print a config sheet, the config sheet is output to the finisher's stacker. I don't want to permanently set the stacker as the default output tray, though.
Any ideas for what's wrong? Is the c8088a compatible, or do you have to pair a 9050dn with a c8088b? Any idea for what escape code I should use? Thanks.

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!
