I need to be able to print doc sets that have both letter and legal size docs and I can't get the printer to autoselect as it prints.

What steps have you taken? I will assume that you have both letter and legal paper loaded, but are the settings on the printer for paper trays set properly to indicate that say Tray 1 is legal and Tray 2 is letter? If you print the configuration page for the printer does it show the tray sizes properly? This is the most common issue we see when auto paper selection is a problem.

I appreciate you answering so quickly. After posting this question I realized I didn't have the proper pdf viewer to print from multiple trays and autoselect. I downloaded acrobat and it works perfectly now. Again, I do appreciate your help.
