I'm setting a LaserJet 4 printer up on a network of Suns. It has a
Postscript cartridge/simm installed and will be used to print PostScript
files exclusively. One requirement is that the multi-purpose tray be
used for printing on letterhead paper and is selected by software so
no user/operator intervention is needed.
However, the PostScript command setpapertray fails with a rangecheck
error for any argument other than 0. PostScript commands defaultpapertray
and papertray both return 0. setdefaultpapertray also fails with a 
rangcheck error.
Does anyone know if these set commands are supported by the HP LJ4 level 2
postscript interpreter, and if so what values are within range and which 
tray they refer to.
The manuals received with the printer say nothing about this.
Thanks in advance.
