RE: LaserJet says LOAD TRAY 1

Paul,
I was trying to avoid a WSCST but you know printers like no one else, so I'll 
follow through on your advice.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hi Bryan,

The way host print transform works is that the source
drawer spool file attribute causes a printer control
command requesting a particular input tray to be sent
to the target printer. The command is stored in the
object referenced in the Manufacturer Type and Model
field.

I checked the Windows Printer Driver for the HP 4250tn
and found the commands to select input trays 1, 2, and
3.

Tray 1 - 1B 26 6C 34 48
Tray 2 - 1B 26 6C 31 48
Tray 3 - 1B 26 6C 35 48

You may need to create a WSCST, which will map the
input tray you want to use to the source drawer value
referenced in a spool file.

Example: If you want spool file attribute <source
drawer one> to activate input tray 2 on the printer,
you need to insure that the WSCST TAG for DRAWER 1 =
1B 26 6C 31 48.

HTH

Best Regards,

/Paul

New LaserJet 4250tn says LOAD TRAY1 whenever I send a
document to it.  When I tell the printer to use tray

2

instead of tray 1, the document prints. Tray 1 is the
manual feed tray and tray two in plain letter.  

What's wrong here?  Here's the device description:
