The best way to do this I found is to set the printer options in Windows (Start Menu, Printers) and set the printer up with the types of paper in each tray. &nbsp;Then in Word just select what type of paper to print on and it should auto select the right tray :)

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
In our HR department we have a HP Laserjet 4250dn.<br />
<br />
The printer has 3 trays, 1 of which is a manual feed.<br />
<br />
Tray 2 contains Plain A4, Tray 3 contains Pre-Printed Letter headed paper.<br />
<br />
When printing from Word the user specifically selects Tray 3 (user needs to print a letter), however the printer ignores the request and prints to Tray 2.<br />
<br />
I have tried the following:<br />
<br />
- Disable Tray 1 (Manual Feed) on the print server.<br />
- Set up two new queues, one for Plain and one for Letter (plain had Tray 3 and Tray 1 disabled, and letter had Tray 2 and Tray 1 disabled) but both still print to Tray 2.<br />
- Checked physical printer and paper handling - all fine<br />
- Changed physical printer setting and set tray 2 to Plain A4 and tray 3 to Pre-Printed.<br />
<br />
Any Ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
