Setting tray 2 as default

[quinton60085]

I'm having an issue with setting tray 2 as the default tray for my printer.  The printer prompts me to load tray 1 with paper, or to push okay. when I press ok, the printer pulls paper from tray 2. This additional step is time consuming and frustrating. please help.

Welcome to the HP Community --

I do not see that you included your printer model.

If you did so, the post failed to include the information.

If your printer is on your network,

Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to view and manage the printer's features.

-- Reminder --

• EWS format, number of trays, tray location, and supported paper sizes / types are all printer model dependent.
• See your printer's User Guide for information.

EWS > HP Document / How-to (InkJet Printers – Classic Format)

 Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)

NOTE:  Find printer IP address

Section Open the EWS over a local network orientation

OR

Reminder: 

If asked enter the printer’s PIN number –

The default PIN might be located on the back or inside the printer (ink access area).
