HP Laserjet 2035N Load Paper Message

I have a winxp machine with an HP Laserjet 2035n (attached via usb). When trying to print a specific Visual Foxpro report out of an accounting application, we get a Load Paper message on tray 1 and the button has to be pushed to release the print job, Even when the printer selection is specifically pointing to Tray 2. Printer prints fine automatically from properties page and all other applications, and this report comes out automatically on other workstations on the lan without this issue using the same shortcut to the client application on the server. Have double checked all driver settings, and all seem fine. Is there something I can do to get around this issue ??

Check your paper size settings on each tray, it's probably set to letter by default, change it to A4. You can change this on the printers driver settings.

@ gododge and HdHondt:  I need letter size coming out, but I will try that and see if it helps here.. like I said..same report out of other machines comes out without having to tweak this. (All others have letter set on their trays for this). That also seems to rule out AndrewJen's possible solution. (thanks though). Updated the print drivers first thing. Then tried alternate drivers, then tried PS and PCL... no driver changes make a difference it seems. (its back to newest driver now and standard settings).
I have experienced this before and resubmit that you check the report designer Page Setup and ensure that it is selecting the same paper as that in the tray.

I had this today when I changed to HP Universal print driver settings.  Even though it showed Unspecified in tray type under printer --> properties --> default settings it was asking for cardstock.  I had to get in to printing preferences, printing shortcuts and hit the Reset button.  Close application, reopen, and it worked.  Weird.
