designating a print tray

[Ilene]

wdPrinterUpperBin and wdPrinterLowerBin work great with our HP 5si printers.

However, i'm needing a macro that prints to Tray 2 on an HP 9040 printer and
this does not work. I've also tried - Options.DefaultTray = "Tray 2" - and
this did not work. In both cases, i get print out from Tray 3 (lower paper
tray). Any ideas?

Haven't tried with HP's but with Kyocera's, set printer as default, run a
"Record Macro" setting for each bin.
With these printers, it coded in the constant the print driver was
expecting for that bin.
Regrettably, it often differed with different driver versions for the same
printer, which made the " wdPrinterUpperBin" etc more desirable in coding,
if it works!
