New printer was installed yesterday. I have no idea, yet, if it was set up correctly. The letterhead tray is priority 1 and plain paper is priority 2. So, output from the i is on letterhead. Currently, this is set up as a remote output queue. But, even as a device, I don't see a method to force selection of a specific tray. Is there one and I am missing it? OVRPRTF and CHGPRTF won't work here. User is selecting a menu option and the menu initiates many functions, which might be sent to different printers.

I did offer that the tray priority might not be set correctly.

Possibly a *WSCST object; perhaps the following for a web search will
assist: "workstation customization object" drawer printer

IBM technical documents may provide specifics for brand\model; i.e.
the search might be narrowed with that information.

Kind of what I expected. My gut reaction is it would be easier (and more consistent given other installed printers) to just change the tray priority. I was secretly hoping there was an option I had missed.

Thanks.
