I suggest to determine if your printer even supports to select the tray. To get the supported categories, try something like this: PrintService printservice = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService(); Class[] categories = printservice.getSupportedAttributeCategories(); for (int i=0;i<categories.length;i++) System.out.println(categories[i].getName()+"="+lPrintservice.getDefaultAttributeValue(categories[i])); To check if a particular attribute value is supported try something like this: PrintService printservice = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService(); HashPrintRequestAttributeSet attributes = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet(); attributes.add(MediaTray.TOP); System.out.println(printservice.isAttributeValueSupported(MediaTray.BOTTOM, DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED.PAGEABLE, attributes)); HTH Andreas Lehmkühler
