Printing to Tray 2 or 3 HP UX

[Matt Horist]

I am having the biggest problem making an HP 4100tn printer grab from tray3 (legal sized paper)
I have tried the following: lp -dprintername filename -olegal
lp -dprintername filename -otray3
lp -olegal -d printername filename
lp -otray3 -d printername filename

All of these are pulling from tray 2 which has letter sized paper.
This seems like a simple task, but for some reason it's giving me a HEADACHE!

Thanks for any help!

Did you configure on the printer that tray 3 is legal?

That should be sufficient.

If not, then check the model script being used by your print driver, that it accepts "legal" as an option

As mentioned, make sure you are using the net_ljx000 script for the new HP Laser printers. I am assuming you are connected to the printer using JetDirect and not printing to some remote printer server. If you are setup as a remote printer, none of the -o options will work unless the remote computer is another HP-UX system.
