Changing the default print tray in Unix
I have a unix based app that I'm trying to print to an HP Laserjet 4050n but it keeps defaulting to Tray 1. I need it to print to Tray 3. When I print to the printer from a windows based app it prints to the correct tray specified.

It was printing ok previously but I had to to a cold reset on the printer and ever since then it defaults to tray 1 no matter what.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thx,
Tony
