It does work in all other aspects. I have been playing around with
sending PCL to it with the WSCST. It still seems to always want to pull
from the 11x17 even though I tell it in the escape codes that when the
printer output is 10cpi to use letter. Since I tried that it pulls
11x17 and formats the data to fit proportionally to the way it did
on8.5x11 (right side and bottom have large blank areas.)
I guess I will have to call HP to get the printer codes and make sure
I'm sending the right ones. I haven't yet seen printer codes for the
11x17 tray in their documentation.

Try hooking the printer to another machine (like a PC) and see
if you
can print from another tray. I had a devil of a time with a
second hand
4029 until I realized that it wasn't being wrongly told to feed
only from
the top tray, but rather than the feed roller in the bottom was
too worn
to reliably pick up a sheet and the printer was giving up and
trying
the other tray in desperation. If you can get it to work
properly off a
PC, then try it again on the AS/400 (without turning the printer
off,
if possible, to avoid resetting the thing if the PC driver
rearranged
some settings).
