Printer creation in R/3

Question

Kindly provide me this information :
There is one printer already running in SAP system with default as Tray 1 . Now my requirement is to create new logical destination of same printer but using tray 2 such that one set of stationary (say new stationary) should be fed from tray 1 and the new stationary through Tray 2.
What should be the procedure to do so ?
Thanks

Reason and Prerequisites
Information requirement - problem solutions required
If the choice of the paper tray is part of the problem note the differences in the paper tray selection between ABAP lists/SAPscript/SmartForms in the Notes 42565, 143375, and 189618.
Solution
HP LaserJet 4050  SAPscript print on DIN A5 from tray 1:
You want to print a SAPscript form on DIN A5 from tray 1. The used device type in the SAP system is HPLJ4, HPLJ5 or HPLJ4000.
Paper tray number 1 of the HP LaserJet 4050 is the upper paper tray (multi-purpose tray) in which paper of any size can be inserted. While inserting the printer prompts you for information on the paper size (DIN A5). If the size is not entered correctly the print from the SAP system cannot work from this tray.
Required settings in the print menu:
To ensure that tray 1 can be addressed from the tray selection of the SAP system as any other paper tray of the printer set entry 'Tray 1 mode=cassette' in menu 'PAPER HANDLING MENU' if not this tray would play a 'special role' and thus could not be addressed correctly.
The default page format of the printer must not be set to A5 if other page formats are used in other paper trays. In menu 'PRINT MENU' set entry 'PAPER=A4'.
If the conditions mentioned above are fulfilled no paper tray selection is required in the SAPscript form if the SAP Release is 4.5A or higher and if the page format in the SAPscript form is set to DIN A5. In such a case the printer receives the command for selecting page format DIN A5 from the HPL2 and automatically selects tray 1. If tray 1 is empty the printer prompts you to insert A5 paper in tray 1.
Note: In Releases lower than 4.5A, the HPL2 printer driver does not send a PLC-5 command for paper size selection in the case of paper format DIN A5 thus the procedure mentioned above does not work.
Solution: Copy and modify the device type and enter the PCL-5 command
\el25A in the INIT action of the DIN A5 formatting . This command selects page format DIN A5.
HP LaserJet 4050  SAPscript print on DIN A5 from tray 2 or 3:
You want to print a SAPscript form from tray 2 on paper format DIN A5. The used device type in the SAP system is HPLJ4, HPLJ5 or HPLJ4000. (The described solution for tray 2 can be analogously used for DIN A5 in tray 3.)Paper tray 2 of HP LaserJet 4050 is the upper paper cassette in which paper of the following sizes can be inserted: letter, legal, executive, DIN A4, CUSTOM. The paper cassette is adjustable and must be correspondingly adjusted. The printer automatically identifies the current paper size via a sensor.
The actual problem with the LJ 4050 is that paper size CUSTOM must be used for printing on DIN A5 paper.
Required settings in the SAPscript form:
The form requires page format INCH8 and not DIN A5.
Required settings in the printer menu:
The default page format of the printer must not be set to A5 or CUSTOM. In menu 'PRINT MENU' entry 'PAPER = 4' must be set.
In menu 'PRINT MENU' the following entries must be set to setup the paper format CUSTOM for DIN A5 paper format:
'conf.custom format=yes'
'units = millimeter'
'X-size=149 millimeters'
'Y-size=209 millimeters'
Necessary changes in device type:
Copy and modify the device type HPLJ4/HPLJ5/HPLJ4000. Enter the PCL-5 command \e&l101A (selects paper size CUSTOM) in the INIT action of format INCH8.
