Bob,

We set up each print 'destination' as a separate printer in Windows, but
mapping to the same IP address of course.
For example "6THFL-P", "6THFL-L" AND "6THFL-A3" might be the same
physical printer in A4 Portrait, A4 Landscape and A3 modes (i.e. using
Tray 2) respectively.
Then, create a 'Separator Page' with PCL commands to set the printer to
the desired mode, and associate the 'Separator Page' with the logical
printer [via the Printer Properties / Advanced / Separator Page].  I
think the 'Separator Page' file must have a ".sep" extension.

E.G.
Landscape mode, auto paper tray Separator Page has in it stuff like this

Subject: [U2] LPTR PaperSource problems on Windows Server 2003

We are in the processing of switching from Unix to Windows Server 2003,
Enterprise Edition. On the Windows server we are running Unidata 6.0.12.

The following scenario happens both for HP 4600 printers and HP 4200
printers:

Using the printer drivers that originally came with Windows Server

SETPTR 1,90,60,0,0,1,AT ITS_01,"PaperSource=Tray 2"
does not get an error message, but the PaperSource command is ignored.
It turns out the trying to print to tray 1 from WordPad on the server
also fails, so I downloaded new drivers from HP

Using the new drivers:
Directing print jobs to tray 1 works from WordPad on the server, however
SETPTR 1,90,60,0,0,1,AT ITS_01,"PaperSource=Tray 1" gets the following
error
message:
Unable to find PaperSource Tray 1 on printer ITS_01

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get around this?

Thanks,
Bob
