allen2 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 If the network printer is connected to a print server, you need to setup on the print server another printer queue with the chosen tray set as default.If the network printer isn't connected to a printer server, you need to setup on your computer another printer queue with the chosen tray set as default.

I input some possible names etc with no luckif I choose the other two options below, will I succeed?

Ponch Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 You need to have administrative rights, then you can install a LOCAL printer, on a TCP/IP port that is the IP adress of the printer (you need to "Create a new port").You can ping the printer name to get it's IP or get it in the printer's properties ("Port" tab).
