Selecting Trays on HP4600 from hp-ux11i

All-
I am having a problem printing to a HP 4600dn printer from hp-ux11i. The printer is on the network, and I have configured HP for this printer using the JetDirect Printer Installer. I am using the net_lj4600 model script. The big problem is that no matter what option I choose from the command line for a tray, the printer prints to tray 1. The problem with this is that using tray 1 requires you to flip down the front of the machine and feed the paper in. Printing to this printer from a windows machine always prints to tray2 which is the tray I would like to use from Unix. I have tried the -o tray1, -o tray2, and -o tray3 options and they all go to tray 1. I then have to manually change the tray on the printer control panel. Anyone have any clues as to how to correct this?
Thanks,
Jim

I suspect that Manual Feed has been selected from the prinetr's front panel. In this case the printer will only print from Tray 1.

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

It turned out the printer's default paper was set to legal and that was set to tray 1. So, it was always going to tray 1. We just changed the printer setting. Thanks
