What drawer does CHGSPLFA DRAWER() represent?

Hi,

There is a DRAWER() parameter to the command CHGSPLFA, and I am having
issues with our new printers where the DRAWER() value I set appears to not
match the actual drawer I was expecting the paper to come out from. (e.g.
DRAWER(1) comes out on "Tray 2" and DRAWER(2) comes out on "Tray 1").

All windows printers report their trays as a name (e.g. "Tray 1" or
"Multi-feed Tray") but the value passed in the DRAWER() parameter is
numeric (i.e. 1-255). How do I determine which physical tray on the printer
that DRAWER() parameter represents?

For extra points, some slightly-related info:
I'm a .NET programmer at times, and I can enumerate the paper sources on a
printer using PaperSource.RawKind to control which tray is used in a print.
Are these numbers the same as the DRAWER() numbers?


-Paul.
