User interface for selecting print options
We are wanting to simplify the printing process for users, so that they don't have to go into properties to select the different trays for different paper.
We are using HP Laserjet and Canon CRC printers, is there any software that can achieve this functionality.

I know that, but you can't do it for the same printer multiple times.
Sorry don't understand, when you setup the printer on the server, you configure all the settings on the one server, all the user has to do is connect to the printer.

The printer has say 3 trays, each with different paper in. What I want to do is have an interface appear so that the user can then select say letterhead or client copy.
Sorry understand now, never heard of any app like that before, to be honest I think it would make the process more difficult because each application has it's own print methods, i.e. Word, IE, Notepad, some can be controlled within an application others require you to go into the properties of the printer.

I know what you mean, i have tried to educate my users how to use print properties, but they are still just hitting file print which is wasting paper.

If you're using Shared Printers from a Server, you can make the settings on the Server, when a workstation connects to the share, the printer settings will be installed as preconfigured on the Share.
