Can't get HP Laserjet 4250 to autoselect paper by size

[OhioRon]

I purchased a used HP Laserjet 4250tn printer.  I connected it to a pc that is running Windows 7 (64).  I connected it using a USB chord.  I loaded letter size paper in tray 2 and legal size paper in tray 3.  I did verify that the control menu on the printer does say letter for tray 2 and legal for tray 3.  I did not get a disc or anything for print drivers so I went to the HP site.  There were 3 drivers availabe:

1.) HP Universal for Windows PCL 6

2.)HP Universal for Windows post script(64 bit)

3.) HP Universal for Windows PCL5(64 bit)

I have tried installing each of the three drivers.  Once installed I have installed the drivers I have gone into the Devices and Printers>customize your printer>device settings and installed tray 3 and then set tray 3 to legal size.  Then in Devices and Printers I went into printing preferences>adjust print options>and under source I set it to printer autoselect.

After this, when I try to print a job that contains both letter and legal size pages the printer will just print everything letter size.  What else do I need to change to ge the printer to auto select the correct paper size?  Thanks

It may depend on the application which is associated with the document(s) you are viewing/editing/printing.

For example, with PDF documents, the Print dialogue will probably contain a "Choose paper source by PDF page size" checkbox:

That was it.  I can't believe I missed something so obvious.  Thank you so much Dansdaduk!
