I have a documents that need to pull from multiple different paper
trays. For example: a letter page followed by an envelope, or a piece

I can set the paper trays per page via the page style. Doing this
under Windows and the change or switch to a different paper tray
works fine. However, under Linux the switch to a different paper tray
does not work, the entire document is printed from the tray used on
the first page.
I am using OpenOffice 2.2.1. Windows is XP, Linux is RHEL5, CUPS is
1.2.4. The printers are HP LaserJet, the PPDs are the latest I can
find via linuxprinting.org.
Any idea where the problem is? How to trouble shoot or work around?
Pointers to other URLs?
Any help is greatly appreciated!! :-)
I think it's a CUPS/OS issue. Can you try a different application (Gimp
or Acrobat Reader for example) to see if those applications can change
the tray settings in linux? I've had similar problems using
Ubuntu/Debian linux drivers for my Canon & finally ended up purchasing
the Turboprint drivers.
I don't believe this is a driver issue, the PPDs are supposedly from HP and
have been static for an extended period. Perhaps there is a better set of PPDs
than those available via CUPS. Anyone?
My current assessment is that this is a bug in OpenOffice that appeared between
2.1.0 and 2.2.0. Anyone have anymore insight?
I don't know how or why gimp would change printer trays in the middle of
printing an image. Sounds like a spurious test.
Anyone know how to embed printer codes into a document? Not my prefer erred
method of solving this problem, but if openoffice can't handle it, I need some
sort of work around.
