How to select paper tray for Pro 8500 A910

[LGGeiger]

I just downloaded the latest Lion drivers for my Pro 8500 A910.  How in the Print Dialog do I select which of the printer's two trays I want to print from.

One suggestion here on the Board was to look in the Layout drop down for "paper feed" optoin (although, this was for a different printer, I thought perhaps it would be consistent).  No such option.  

Any ideas?

When you start a print job (with File > Print or Command-P), click the "Show Details" button.  Now, on the lowest pull-down, choose "Paper Handling".

With Paper Handling selected I don't see any buttons, other pull downs, etc. where I can choose a tray.  I'm inserting the window as I see it in Lion.

Oh, that is strange.  Do a Software Update to see if the HP software needs an update.  Other than that, I am out of ideas.  My dual bin LaserJet has the "Paper Feed" option just under "Paper Handling".

I downloaded Mac's 2.6 HP printer ugrade yesterday (from Mac).  The HP is running driver 3.1.1 - and I'm not certain how to do a Softwear Upgrade.  Can you give me the short steps.

Thanks

Please make sure to install the latest HP Printer Software Update 2.7 by clicking the Apple Menu > Software update.

If the issue persist with no change, try installing the full package below:

ShlomiL,

I apprecate your help.  I just installed the "full package" as you called it, and no change.  The package installs successfully, is there some method by which I need to reinstall the 8500 with the new drivers?

Under System Information I am still showing the printer driver to be 3.1.1 - the same as before I installed the package.

Thanks,

George

Hi George,

By checking the latest driver version, indeed the 3.1.1 is the latest driver..

I have installed the same printer, and finally could figure where the Tray selection is located:

Make sure to select Show Details

On the lowest scrolldown, Select Paper Type / Quality

Under the Source you will be able to select the Tray 2

Enjoy
