LaserJet 1320nw: Selecting an alternate paper tray programmatically

Howdy, y'all,
My question is more about coding than printer administration, but I thought that I'd begin by asking at this forum.
I'm working on the enhancement of an older client-server app that prints three copies of an invoice on color-coded paper. One of the users would like to keep the multi-colored sheets in the lower paper tray. Other users may run the same invoice listing on other HP LaserJets. If the <Esc> sequence that I send to the printer to select the lower tray is received by a LaserJet printer without a lower tray, what will the printer do?
I've read the PCL 5 Tech Ref, and in the Programming Hints section, HP writes that "if ... commands are not supported by the PCL device, they are ignored." Does that mean that printer will still print from the default tray if there's no alternate tray?
Thanks kindly.

Thanks for your support-- you are correct Epson did not solve my problem. Over time, none of my several printing issues have been solved by Epson . Self-help and Forums have been my best solutions. Once Again I discovered the answer myself. The menu options have been moved around in Leopard compared to Tiger. In "EPSON PrintCD" you now go to Print..., choose Page Setup and unlike Tiger when you choose "US letter" under Paper Size, pulled down to US Letter, there is now a side menu that pops up and allows you to choose US letter(Manual Feed). This takes care of the CD printing problem. Though I haven't tried it as yet, I think that under this new "Paper Size" menu choosing "4x6 ( borderless)" will solve my borderless printing problem!
Sorry I can't shed any light on your particular issues

Hp laserjet professional 1100w. cannot close paper tray. paper-stop not movable?

I managed to install and print but cannot close the paper tray. There is a little paper-stop that prevents the paper tray from closing. Seems like it should be able to fold under or something.

Cannot get my ph400 m401 printer to recoginize 3rd paper tray

Installed laserjet 400 m401 with 3rd paper tray but printer won't recoginize tray?

You will need to go into your printer and devices folder > right click on the printer > click printer properties > go to the device settings tab > look at installable options.
If tray 3 is on your printer use the pull down tab for automatic configuration and update now. Tray 3 should become avaialable.

Wrong automatic paper tray selection in HP LaserJet M3035 printer.

Hello,
I have a printer (this one http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06b/18972-18972-3328064-12004-3328083-2512333-2512337-3435... ) shared in Active Directory by several users (running Windows XP machines). The thing is that no matter how many times I try to set the source paper tray to a specific one, it seems it doesnt apply/store the changes, and it comes back to Auto tray selection (and it always selects tray #1, which is the one im trying to avoid), causing an issue which needs to be solved by hand.
Thanks a lot in advance.

1. Go into your SETUP MENU on your printer.
2. Choose PREFERENCES
3. Choose DEFAULT TRAY.
Try it and let me know what happens, thanks.

Printing 4x6 photos on HP Laserjet 4630. photo paper tray not working?

I am trying to print 4x6 photos on glossy paper. My printer has a photo paper tray in addition to a standard letter tray. When I specify 4x6 borderless glossy paper in the print parameters, the printer keeps pulling from the standard paper tray instead of the photo tray on top of the printer. This has worked for me in the past, but I haven't used it in a long time. What must I be doing wrong?

Hey. I'm a photographer with the C4280.
This printer takes care of 8.5 x 11's pretty much perfectly. But 4 x 6 not for me on iPhoto or Photoshop.
So what I did was I set up a pages document with a blank template, set at 4 x 6 inches.
I dragged rulers about .25inches in and threw in the photo set at 4 x 6 ratio. So... most photos are 4 x 6, just resize it to fit in the rulers.
I've noticed in most occasions it cuts off the top of the photo document when laid out in portrait.
What I do is a hit command p, select the printer but choose under the drop box that says "layout" i hit borderless printing, and a selectable box will show up saying "print borderless" and i just clicked it.
on the document though you might want to make the opacity 10% to save ink. you have to trouble shoot the exact place to set and drag up or down the photo. but once you get it, its reliable the duration the document is open and the printer is on.
i know its kind of pointless for one, but i had a shoot with live printing on the spot with this printer and its great. you can add texts boxes and put those perfectly where you want (once you set the picture so its set) and throw in another picture and really customize the 4 x 6.
i printed a postcard with the writing already in it. just had to mail it no writing involved.
you also need iwork 08 or 09. i have 08 but im sure 09 works. so if you save the pages doc as a template you can just drag in the image file into where the old image is and print that way.
command p, choose borderless printing in the drop box and click print borderless. it should work.
email me for a copy of my pages document. [email protected]
i promise though, with canon or epson 4 x 6 print paper, its pretty amazing. almost comparable to my prints from my printer.
or you can fit 12 3.5 x 2inch (business card sized) pics on an 8.5 x 11.

Paper tray hp laserjet 1018

It should be simple. I cannot close the paper tray of my HP LaserJet 1018 printer. It is hinged and when I lift it, it moves about 30 degrees and stops. I am afraid that if I force it any farther something will break. How does it close? It was close when I bought it.

Paper tray error message HP LaserJet 1102w

Recently my LaserJet 1102w stopped printing duplex; instead, after printing the first side it gives an error message : Paper tray needs to be filled.
The paper tray is full, but I cannot get it to continue printing the other side, no matter what. This has become a huge problem, even when printing single-sided jobs.
Any ideas?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Once you place the printed pages back in the input tray, try opening and closing the top cartridge access door to rsume the print job and check if that prints the other side.
Hope that helps,

P3015 won't allow me to manually select paper tray on Mavericks

Selecting 'Default' profile will print from Tray 2. This profile uses AUTO tray selection from the paper feed setup screen.
Attempting to create a new profile cloned from 'Default', but with paper tray 2 explicitly selected results in printer

Paper tray selection for copies won't stay

I'm having problems setting the paper tray for copies. I go into settings on the printer LED screen and select Tray 2 for copies, but it doesn't stick. Since I have envelopes loaded in Tray 1, I'm constantly getting "wrong tray" error messages.

Welcome back to the HP Community @marthainalabama ,
I read your post about the problems you have been having with making copies from Tray 2 in your Officejet 8630, and I would like for you to check out the link below and try the suggestions from @TeK_AcE to see if the steps can help! Try copying from Tray 2 afterwards.

Automatic selection of paper tray

I have my printer set up to automatically select the tray with paper, if one tray is empty. It does not work. In the settings on the printer, I have Tray 1 as default, and no lock on. In the printer settings in Windows, it says that the second tray is installed and will auto select the tray. I have also tried Tray 2 as default. If the default tray is empty, and the other tray has paper, it will not auto select and use tray with the paper.
I have also removed the additional try and reinstalled it.

Hey @PirateBird ,
Thank you for joining us on the HP Forums today, hope you enjoy your time with us!
I understand that you are experiencing an issue with out of paper paper trays still trying to print even though the second paper tray has paper in it and is ready to print.
So that I can assist you please answer the following:
1. What Operating System are you using? Press the link to find out, in case you don't know already. http://whatsmyos.com/
2. What printer are you using?
3. Are both trays loaded with standard media?
Look forward to hearing back from you.

Standard paper tray on Color LaserJet 3600n

We have a Color LaserJet 3600 which had a problem with the standard paper tray being stuck. Couldn't get it out until we were able to get inside the machine and push down on the metal plate that pushes the paper up when the drawer is in the printer. After we got it out we found a small plastic piece broken on the end of the right side of the metal plate that sticks through the plastic side of the paper tray (see image). Does anyone know where I can get this plastic piece without having to purchase the entire tray?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Typically these small pieces on the paper trays, such as this one, are unavailable by themselves. One can check the HP Parts Store to see if the parts is available, but most likely one will have to get the tray as a single unit.
Hope this helps.

Hi Peter
Thank's for your tip. I have looked at my report, but I don't find the property, where I can set 'SRW.Set_Printer_Tray'. Or is it a trigger and who must be this trigger and kind of trigger?
Have you more information for me or an example?
Thank's

How can I control paper tray selection from within a report?

Hello everybody
I need to print out a report (preferably in the PDF format) in which certain pages need a specific paper. I am therefore looking for a way to control the paper tray on per page basis. It seems hard to do even though there must be thousand of people out there with the same need - or please proof me wrong
I really appreciate any suggestions.
Regards from Zurich, Switzerland
Peter Buchmann

doesn't support it right now. it will figure it out what tray if the paper is a different size but that's about it. you have two options, have two printers or no preprinted stationary. Most companies go with two printers.
Good luck,
Ike

Print crystal report in A5 paper tray

Dear Experts,
I am using VB.NET
We have different printers like "Lexmark Optra T612_DB", "HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v4.7)", etc., in the network, there will be 2 or more trays for each printer. One of the tray has A5 paper in it. While printing Crystal report,
1. How to find in which tray A5 paper is present?
2. How to select A5 paper tray for printing?
If the above 2 are not possible with crystal report object:
1. How to print crystal report using PrintDocument object?
2. How to find in which tray A5 paper is present using PrintDocument object?
3. How to select A5 paper tray for printing? using PrintDocument object?
Currently with the following lines of .NET code, it is always printing in Tray 2
report.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperA5;
report.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
Regards,
Eswar

Unfortunately, it will be up to you to find out what tray the correct paper size is in, then set that to the report. The CR APIs do not look up these values, they just expect you to know these and set them.

Paper tray won't close

HP Color LaserJet CM2320nf MFP printer:
So, I put more paper in the paper tray and closed the drawer as usual. Only the drawer will not close. I have looked inside to see if there is anything visible that would prevent it from closing. I see nothing. Without paper, I can't print easily (just with a couple pieces of paper). This is wierd. Has never happened before.
I have turned off and on the printer, not that that would help -- but the paper tray will still not slide into the printer.
