Printing to a particular tray

Hi,

Is it possible to print a PDF (or PCL) file to a particular printer tray?

For example:

Client A has their headed paper in Tray1
Client B has their headed paper in Tray2
The printers are not the same make or model

Is it possible to write an application that will save two settings (printer name and printer tray) and use these to print to a particular tray? Any ideas how difficult/simple this would be?

Thanks very much,

David

You just need to change the paper source. Take a look at this post ( http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=101) from another forum. It should get you started.

Take a look at this:

I allow the user to change settings in the SETUP section, and set two printers.
I was having problems with the old CDC setting defaults and what not, then found this

Hi,

Both of these replies look promising. I'll post back when I've looked into each a bit more.

Thanks,
