When printing Sales Invoices and 2 copies, where the original prints from one tray and the copies from another, using an HP4050 printer a GPF error occurs. If the Invoice Report is send to a generic HP4050 printer driver no error occurs but neither do the multiple copies. Navision advised there is indeed a print driver conflict between HP4050 multiple trays and Navision. Is there any way to work around this so the benefit of multiple trays can be used without separate print jobs? Any suggestions would be grand!
You could: -reduce the resolution -use another printer driver -use the right emulation another printerdriver could work if your machine is copied by another company. mostly you find xeroxdrivers more compatible right emulation: if the printer ist switched to pcl5, and the driver will send postscript, the driver switches the printer to the right emulation. often this feature will left some “uninitialised” code in the printer. everything should work fine, but fin uses deeply api’s on the driver, maybe there went something wrong. you should allways switch the printer to this kind of printlanguage the printer also uses, and, more, the “naturalest” language of the printer. hp to pcl, kyocera to kpdl and so one.
The question: How do you change the tray from within Navision? Lukasz Konewka
You will also want to make sure that tray linking has been disabled. Tray linking will override imbedded tray switching commands (at least it does on Lexmark printers). Good luck Lee Jarvis Sr. Analyst/Programmer Publix Super Markets, Inc.
As far as I know, the only way to change the paper tray is to use an Automation server (or an OCX, possibly) which accesses the printer driver software. This is not much fun: don’t ask me how to do it because my attempts to make this stuff work have been HIGHLY unsuccesful. Thanks, Timothy Horrigan Timothy.Horrigan@emsolution.com ------- Tim Horrigan

picassol: I had the same problem around the same time as you posted this. Navision U.S. didn’t have any idea what the problem was or that there was even a problem. The client was running Navision 2.00.C.US on NT 4.0. The rest of the client’s network activities where being run on Novell. I tried everything from new printer drivers to new monitors drivers. It seems that the problem was only happening on Windows 98 machines. I finally removed the printer from the Novell server. The printer acts as it’s own print Q. the problem stop and has never happened since.
