I love printer issues... don't you? I'm having an issue on an HP Color Laserjet 1600. It's directly connected via USB Cable to someone's computer. We are utilizing Trays 2 & 3 on the printer. Tray 3 is setup so that it prints only on letterhead.

On the person's computer, I have setup (2) Print sessions to the printer. One where the settings define that it only prints to plain paper (Tray 2), and one where it prints to company letterhead (Tray 3). When accessing the printer via Printers and Faxes, the Letterhead printer session does in fact say Tray 3. However, whenever the user opens up Excel or Word, and he goes to print to the letterhead, for whatever reason it continually stays at Tray 2. Every time he wants to print, he has to select Tray 3 from within Office.

Is there any reason why this would say Tray 2 instead of Tray 3, and why his preferences won't stick? He is a local administrator on the computer too.
 
Which driver version are you using? If you are using the PCL6 driver, roll back to PCL5. Alot of weird things happen with 6 and I always opt for 5 versus 6.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
