    Printing From tray 2 on HP 8500 using Apple Airprint

    I have an HP 8500A A910 Premium with two trays. I selected Tray 2 as my default because I'm # 10 envelopes in tray 1 (the tray that will fit only).When I use to print Printopia from my iPhone via my home network the default printer properly in the tray 2. on the other hand, when my computer is off and that the make use of AirPrint, the printer tries to print from Tray 1, a divergence detects paper size and fails. How I can use Airprint to print from tray 2?

    This is caused by firmware. I think Firmware is not compatible.

    I can tell you that you can print from tray 2 because I think they just did it. I put plain paper in Tray 1. Then I told him by telephone to print a mail and found the printer! (Thanks to the firmware upgrade as indicated) and then set the thing to the printer and print double sided! In the paper tray 2. So it's achievable.

    What I think is that it is necessary to deepen the default printer and only part is set to use the tray 2 in the main tray. I remember there was something crazy on the transfer between the controller and the printer about which was the default tray. I indistinctly memorize, finding the printer is attached to the tray 1 as the default. Maybe because I installed the tray 2 after making the initial configuration? I have no implication. I do not keep in mind the details. I remember my revelation when going through all the settings to find the tray by default not what I thought it was.

    I have exactly the same problem. My default tray is set to Tray 2, I have envelopes in tray 1, but my iPod insists on trying to print to tray 1 through AirPrint, causing an error paper size in the printer.
