hp printer help

Asked May 17, 2012, 07:45 AM — 2 Answers
When priting a batch of documents where some are letter-size and some are legal-size, how can I get the printer to stop and ask for legal-size paper when appropriate? This is an HP LaserJet 2050dn. Making changes in printer preferences hasn't helped.

Hi there

To access this option, go to the Configure Device menu, and then go to the System Setup submenu to access the USE REQUESTED TRAY setting.

Hope this helps

The question here is what software are you printing from. The software needs to identify that it is looking for a different size paper. I know in MS Word, you can put Section breaks that will allow you to change paper size just for the section.
