SUMMARY

The Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 4 printer driver, HPPCL5E.DRV, does not save paper tray selections.

MORE INFORMATION

The HPPCL5E.DRV printer driver supports the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 4, 4M, 4SI, and 4SI MX printers. If you change the Paper Source setting for your printer in the Setup dialog box in Control Panel, the selection remains for that Windows session but reverts back to the default Auto Select option when you reenter Windows.

WORKAROUND

To work around this situation, edit the WIN.INI file and manually change the "tray" selection in the [HP LaserJet 4/4M or 4SI/4SI MX] driver section to one of the following:
   1  MP Tray
   2  Paper Cassette
   4  Manual Feed
   5  Envelope Feeder
   7  Auto Select
   11 Lower Cassette
				
For example:
   [HP LaserJet 4/4M,LPTx]
   paper=1
   prtcaps=-5240
   prtcps2=4561
   tray=1
