Rick, You may need to broaden your testing. The books for afp2pcl and afpxpcl both contain this Tip for the AOP_TRAYID: PCL tray IDs do not match the tray numbers embossed on the actual printer trays.
Test changing more than just the fourth position. For more details, see http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r13/topic/com.ibm.zos.r13.aokfa00/afp2pclentry.htm?resultof=%22%61%66%70%78%70%63%6c%22%20%22%61%6f%70%5f%74%72%61%79%69%64%22%20 --Roger On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 7:45 AM, Rick Stetser < [email protected]> wrote: > I have a developer who's trying to print on an HP Laserjet P4015tn printer > that has three paper sources.
