HP1320tn - problems with tray selection

I have just purchased an HP1320tn as a workgroup printer on an SBS2003
network with 8 clients.
I have run the set up wizard on all the clients - so that as far as each
client is concerned - the printer is not shared. (is this my mistake?)
I tried to run the setup wizard on the SBS server but it told me to use the
MS setup printer wizard, - this won't find the printer however.

I need to be able to be able to print a 6-sided MS word document, the first
2 sides on letterhead and sides 3-6 on plain. All other documents I need to
default to plain. The only way I can seem to make it work is to set up a
Print Task Quick Set for each job, and select it for every single print.

This seems somewhat long-winded - and I can't help but think i'm missing
something. I even tried writing a Word macro to set the Print Task Quick
Set, but it seems this is not as easy as it would seem.

Any help gratefully received

I also think that the paper management facilities of both Windows and Word
are somewhat inferior... The software or the OS should be intelligent
enough to select what paper is needed on basis of the print job, for each
page separately, if necessary. But at the least, you should have the option
to...

I suggest you add some more copies of the same printer in the print option
of Windows and select matching options. Don't forget to name the printer
copies adequately (e.g. Letterhead printer, plain printer, plain printer
with duplex and so forth).

I have considered this option, and I may still try it. I suppose it means
that all the clients need to be set up seperately though?

Right now I have configured the printer on the server, and set it as shared.
I have set up a print Task Quick Set for my six sided job, and this seems to
be working - but selecting the Print Task Quick Set is very slow. (i think
it has to collect data from the printer , via the server)

Thanks for your help/thoughts

just create the copies on the server and share them from there. That should
do it.

I have made a copy - this is good,
what i need is for one of the 'printers' to be set to 'plain/duplex' ,
and for the other to be set to 'first page letterhead, remaining plain /
duplex'

is this possible?

Thanks/ vielen danke

I cannot say for sure how the 1320 driver looks like but for my 5Si I can
select the necessary options in the printing defaults section (select
properties of the printer, click on printing preferences, select the
options you want). You will have to do this in both printer copies.

This seems to be working well.
Is there any way that I can change the name from "<printername> on
<servername>" - to just <printername> ?

Thanks again

this is a client option. While I don't see any reason to do so, I would
recommend you'd check either Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP or X-Teq
Setup Pro. I don't know for sure, tho.
