Hi Gurus,
Can anyone guide me as to how can we send print requests to a print queue
to print using a specific tray on the printer
I know that we can define a print queue with the number of trays present
using lpadmin command (option -t). But how to send print requests to use
specific trays.
-M -f form-name [-a [-o filebreak]] [-t tray-number]]
Below is the text file with the steps that I have done so far.
I will appreciate any feedback in this regard. I'll sumarize.
Thanks & Regards,
