Printing different documents on different printer trays

H

Haroon Shafiq

I got some documents of different sizes (A4, Legal, Letter etc.) based on
some templates. I have the template name for each document and my printer is
configured so that A4 documents print on tray1 legal documents print on tray2
letter documents print on tray3.
This is fine. But if I change the printer configuration such that A4 is now
printed on tray3 Legal on tray1 and letter on tray2. but my documents that
are printed through VB6, are still using the old trays. How can I find out
what configuration each tray is set to now?
