[opensuse] How to specify paper try in print jobs
I again hope this is an easy one, but how does one select which tray paper comes from. If I put photo paper in one tray, and plain paper in the another, how does one tell the application which paper to use?

printer? driver? operating system? application? age at last communion? height when wearing thin socks? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry, I thought this was more a universal question. I ma under Opensuse 42.3 with a HP hp477fdw laser printer using HPLIP diver it downloaded. For test file I use enscript, = lpr I think, and for photos I use Digikam 5.5.0, current version I think. I can select tray 3 under Yast, and also the HPLIP print software, 3.16.11. When I change to select tray 2 under HPLIP, the printer still prints from tray 3.

I'm just guessing as my HP OjPro 8620 only has one tray and I don't see an option on hplip to select a tray, I would say it needs a bug report for a missing or faulty function. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It depends on the printer. You can probably set a default tray, but you can also select the tray somewhere in print options each time you print something. I have never tried to do this from the command line, but looking at "man lpr" I see "-o option[=value]". You would then have to find the appropriate option and value pair. So use "lpoptions" to find out. Try "lpoptions -l". On mine I see: cer@Telcontar:~> lpoptions -l HPServicesWeb/Internet Services: *SupportAndTroubleshooting ProductManuals CheckForDriverUpdates OrderSupplies PageSize/Page Size: Letter Legal Executive w612h935 4x6 5x8 *A4 A5 A6 B5 w283h425 w553h765 w522h737 w558h774 Postcard DoublePostcard Env10 EnvMonarch EnvISOB5 EnvC5 EnvDL Custom.WIDTHxHEIGHT InputSlot/Paper Source: *Auto Tray1 Tray2 Tray1_Man ... and many more, but you already see a Tray in there. So let's try: cer@Telcontar:~> lpoptions -o InputSlot=Tray1 cer@Telcontar:~> lpoptions -l HPServicesWeb/Internet Services: *SupportAndTroubleshooting ProductManuals CheckForDriverUpdates OrderSupplies PageSize/Page Size: Letter Legal Executive w612h935 4x6 5x8 *A4 A5 A6 B5 w283h425 w553h765 w522h737 w558h774 Postcard DoublePostcard Env10 EnvMonarch EnvISOB5 EnvC5 EnvDL Custom.WIDTHxHEIGHT InputSlot/Paper Source: Auto *Tray1 Tray2 Tray1_Man ... See? Changed. So to print from tray 1 I would use: lpr -o InputSlot=Tray1 filetoprint -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

You have the option to choose the tray every time you print something. There is usually a whole slew of options - paper size, paper tray, paper type, watermark etc etc. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
