hello all,
I am new here and not quite sure if this same question was asked previous but I could not find the similar thread here.
I am pretty much spend most of my time on the "Terminal" on Mac. I want to find out if there is a way to use lp (or lpr) to print a file to my printer but with option to specify which tray (my printer has 2 trays. Manual, and the regular tray) the paper is from.
here are some of the info:
1/
2/ I set the Media Source by:
and the result with
is:
3/ but when I use
, it prints without using the paper at the manual paper feed.
4/ I try
and result is the same thing, not print to the paper from the manaul feed.
Did I use the wrong option(s) or something else?
Any suggestion will greatly appreciate it. Thanks
