More help with HP Laserjet 4350 & Drawer issue

All - new twist to this.  I guess I should have phrased this a little more
specifically.  It's not so much the drawer that's the issue, as the fact
that the drawer has LEGAL sized paper in it.

So when I send the output to the queue, the printer tells me to use the
Manual Feed tray or Press the check button to go ahead and use drawer 3.
Any ideas how to get the darn thing to just go ahead and pull from the
bottom tray without wanting manual intervention??

Hi Debbie,

Theoretically, this means that when the user selects the manual paper 
feed, the escape sequence '1B266C3248'X will be sent to the pritnter.
( ESC&l2H )


>     :DWRSLT

When DRAWER(*E1) it sends ESC&l6h1O

>     :DWRSLT
>       DRAWER=DRAWER1
>       DATA ='1B266C3448'X.

When DRAWER(1) it sends ESC&l4H

>     :DWRSLT
>       DRAWER=DRAWER2
>       DATA ='1B266C3148'X.


When DRAWER(2) it sends ESC&l1H

You may also have an additional drawer specification.  It'd look like 
this:
     :ADDDRWTBLE
       NUMBER=    3
       DATA ='1B266C3548'X.
     :ADDDRWTBLE
       NUMBER=    4
       DATA ='1B266C3848'X.
     :ADDDRWTBLE
       NUMBER=  101
       DATA ='1B266C323048'X.
     :ADDDRWTBLE
       NUMBER=  102
       DATA ='1B266C323148'X.
     :EADDDRWTBL.

This lists the escape sequences for drawers higher than drawer #2.  In 
this example, I have drawers 3 & 4 plus 101 and 102 defined.  You can have 
lots of lots of ADDDRWTBLE sections if you have a lot of possible values 
for the DRAWER parameter.

When DRAWER(3) it sends ESC&l5H
When DRAWER(4) it sends ESC&l8H
When DRAWER(101) it sends ESC&l20H
When DRAWER(102) it sends ESC&l21H

The tricky part is (in my experience, anyway) figuring out what the escape 
code that the printer actually needs is.  Once you know that, you can 
either find it or add it to the WSCST source.

If you'd like details on how the WSCST works, there's a manual on-line:

You'll also find it in the Information Center (V5R3) under
Programming -> Device -> Workstation Customization Programming

(The same manual exists in older information centers, but the links you 
click might be different).
