BTW, I have not been able to find any standard PCL laserjet drivers, we
do not use postscript and just need PCL capability.
Any help appreciated. We have a shop that uses anything from the old
laserjet 2 to the new P3000 laserjet printers; hopefully there might be
an updated driver that will cover this vast span of laserjet models.
Thank you and have a GREAT day!

We are using the standard /usr/share/cups/model/laserjet.ppd that comes
with the package. Here are the first few lines of it:
-----start snip

3 *% "$Id: laserjet.ppd,v 1.11 2002/12/17 19:00:09 swdev Exp $"

Hopefully this will give some idea as to what we are actually using.
Is there something else I should be using? I am not sure what I need as
I presumed I was using the 'correct' one.
Thank you so much for your reply, I look forward to being able to
resolve this problem.
Have a GREAT day!

What driver/filter are you using with this PPD?

I am trying to setup an HP LaserJet Printer to print from Tray 2
of three trays. Tray 1 is Manual, Tray2 is Tray 2 and Tray3 and Tray 3;
however, no matter which lpoption I select it ALWAYS comes from Tray3
EXCEPT for Manual and Envelope.
Does anyone or can anyone tell me what I might need to change in
the PPD file in order for it to go to the 'right' tray 2?
My PPD file has the following section:
-----start snip
*OpenUI *InputSlot/Media Source: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 10 AnySetup *InputSlot
*DefaultInputSlot: Default
*InputSlot Default/Default: "<</cupsMediaPosition
0>>setpagedevice"
*InputSlot Tray1/Tray 1: "<</cupsMediaPosition 8>>setpagedevice"
*InputSlot Tray2/Tray 2: "<</cupsMediaPosition 1>>setpagedevice"
*InputSlot Tray3/Tray 3: "<</cupsMediaPosition 4>>setpagedevice"
*InputSlot Tray4/Tray 4: "<</cupsMediaPosition 5>>setpagedevice"
*InputSlot Manual/Manual Feed: "<</cupsMediaPosition
2>>setpagedevice"
*InputSlot Envelope/Envelope Feed: "<</cupsMediaPosition
3>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *InputSlot
-----end snip
My users are quite unhappy about this not working so I am trying
to get a quick resolution. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so
much in advance for helping.
Have a GREAT day!
