TMBNHNT:
I had a similar situation with another (non-RBase) app printing to a dual-tray Epson WF-7520. No matter my selection, the job always printed from the default tray (Tray #1).
After assigning paper size to tray at the printer's on-board control panel, the printing application requires only specification of the paper size. The job always finds the correct tray.
Does the printer have an on-board control panel at which you can assign paper size to tray?

I'm trying to use PRNSETUP and CVAL to allow user to select and save
printer tray configurations for specific reports.
PRNSETUP
SET VAR vprnname=(CVAL('CURRENTPRINTER'))
SET VAR vprntray=(CVAL('PRN_SOURCE'))
The values returned into vprnname and vprntray are then stored in a
table and used with the print later, however, my vprntray ALWAYS returns
"Automatically Select" as the value, now matter how the printer settings
are changed. I'm using 9.5 32-bit latest release, I may be losing my
mind but at one point I was sure this process worked as I wanted.
