There may not be a simple solution to this. If the 3rd party product doesn't give the chance to change the paper tray, then the selection of the tray may be in the printer codes that are sent out from the printer driver. If that's the case, then you may be able to change the codes, but it won't be fun. 1) redirect the program to print to a file, but still use the original driver 2) replace the tray selection codes with codes to print to the correct tray (this be done fairly easily using FoxPro if the size of the file isn't all that large, a couple of hundred K or so, and if the printer language is something standard like PCL). 3) send the revised file to the printer. > Can anyone tell me how I can change the paper source programmatically > (without having to display the Printer Setup Dialog).
