Need help printing from Tray 2 Please help

[huminski]

Hi all,

I need to know what needs to be done on an HP-UX 10.X system to have a queue print from tray 2 pn a HP 5si. I have checked sam and jetadmin for an option, but nothing. I also looked in the filter (/var/spool/lp/interface/queuename) but there is nothing in there either. Any ideas??

Thanks!!

If you have jetadmin loaded see the man page for the 5si, net_lj5x. Man pages are probably below /opt/hpnp/man, put that in your MANPATH. So, from this, use &quot;lp -otray2 <file_name>&quot; to print using this tray. I've also set up a separate printer queue to by default use B size paper we keep in the second tray (that is really labeled tray 3). For that I created a second queue for the printer, then edit the file /etc/lp/interface/model.orig/<printer_queue_name>, and change the line 'paper=&quot;def&quot;' to read 'paper=&quot;11x17&quot;', at line 537 on my system. For other printers I've edited that file & changed the line 'mediasrc=&quot;def&quot;' to 'mediasrc=&quot;2&quot;' or some other number to set a default tray number. I have not found this documented anywhere!

Worked like a charm!

Mediasrc=&quot;1&quot; will be tray 2
Mediasrc=&quot;2&quot; will be tray 1

Thank you!
