Problem

Solutions: This is a work around for multiple tray access on the HP LaserJet IID and IIID printers using any PacificPage PE Cartridge, while running under MS Windows. This will allow you to use letterhead in one tray and regular paper in the other tray on these printers with multiple trays.

Windows does not allow documents to have different tray or page size selections in a single document. This is the case no matter which PostScript printer or cartridge you use.

In the printer setup section of your application, or in the Control Panel of MS Windows, you are able to select the paper size that you require for a document. You can change the size from letter to legal and control which tray gets pulled. You may also be able to make this change in your application program.

A call to Hewlett-Packard PostScript cartridge technical support will get you the following response:

"You will need to call HP Distribution and ask for a copy of the HP LaserJet IIID Windows 3.0 PostScript driver. Windows does not support multiple tray switching within an individual document. With this new PostScript driver from HP, you can do tray switching between different documents, or print a single page then select a different tray. You can print the rest of your document, but you cannot automatically switch."

The new HP Windows 3.0 driver doesn't give WP customers any advantages, but HP's response indicates that WP is not different in principle from the way you switch trays in PostScript on the IID/IIID with the HP PostScript cartridge under Windows.
