When I send a report to the printer the printer switches to the manual tray(tray 1) waiting for paper to be inserted. How do I make sure it prints from tray 2? Thanks.
 
HI
I feel your laser printers default paper size is different from what you use in your report files default paper size.

There could be many ways to handle this problem.

1. Hack the printer header info stored in the repotr files. For this you can use the code provided by me as FAQ on this..

2. Make the laser printers default source size as the paper size used by you in your report files default layout.

3. Run the report in a way to prompt for the printer features..
REPORT FORM myReport TO PRINTER PROMPT ... this will pop up the printer and its choices options which you can provide for the users to choose.

Hope this helps you :)
