In mid-September, I requested some help with the problem in selecting the proper paper tray/drawer/bin on a HP P5005 printer that has two large trays (one for white paper and one for yellow). After delays for Las Vegas, fire, and an office move, I now have something useful to share.
The key part requires a big Thank You to Robert Laurin for posting his program, PTRDLG_O.IBS, to the forum. Apparently there is no way, in WDL, to request information about Orientation, Paper Sizes, and Paper Sources. Robert's program uses DOSRW to get this information.
My program, GETTRAY.IBS, is much reduced in scope. However, it does display the key item I needed. The "Tray Code" to use in (SetPrinterInfo = 8, TrayCode). The "8" is for Paper Source.
I've attached GETTRAY.IBS and TRAY.TXT here and in the Forum Library. TRAY.TXT is screen captures from various HP printer models
