Treat printer tray as separate printer
A piece of software we use at work doesn't support using separate trays, sizes and colors so I'm wondering if it's possible to set up each tray to as a separate printer accessible on the network?
In Windows you can set up multiple copies of a printer, each with its own settings.
- Create the printers using "Add a printer" in Devices and Printers.
- Select the printer and port from the lists shown.
- When the new printer is installed, go to Printer Properties and click the Advanced tab ⇒ Printing Defaults button and set the printer up the way you want it. Click OK.
- Now click the General tab ⇒ Printing Preferences button. Check that your settings show there. If not, set them there as well.
That's it. You now have 2 copies of the printer, with different properties.
