HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301

Hello,

 

I have HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301 with three paper trays.  How can I set Tray 3 as the default tray for all printer jobs (unless the users selects either Tray 1 or 2)?

 

BTW, Im Mac OS 15.3.1 Sequoia

 

Thank you

I've done this before in windows and I think it done the same way in Mac OS. You install the printer three different times and give it a different name each time.  For each printer go in and set the default to use a different tray. When you get ready to print select the printer that has a tray you want to use.

 

This windows article explains how to install the same printer twice but with different settings.

if you find a MacOS article let me know so I can reference it in the future.
