You can try the driver you can find on the web site of Hewlett Packard at
www.hp.com There is a DOS remote control panel there that your user could
use to change paper tray.

If this don't work try to write Escape sequence or PJL code in a file and
send it to the printer.
 The Escapes sequences and PJL code can be find at www.hp.com too.

How to send a file to the printer??

At the Dos prompt simply type: "copy toto.txt lpt1"
Where toto.txt is the file containing the escape sequence. And lpt1 is the
physical port where the printer is connected.
