Changing Tray with Postscript commands

[Diane]

I'm trying to change printer trays on an HP 2430 printer by embedding
Postscript Commands in the Word Doc.

Here is what I have:

{PRINT "<</MediaPosition 1>> setpagedevice" \* MERGEFORMAT}

Test drawer 3

My output goes to drawer 3, but the print is all messed up. The font is
huge and the words are backwards.

I then tried:

{PRINT \p page "<</MediaPosition 1>> setpagedevice" \* MERGEFORMAT}

Test drawer 3

Now the font is correct, but I can't print to tray 3.

Any Suggestions?

I forgot to mention that I'm using MS WORD 2007

I don't know anything about Postscript commands, but the Mergeformat switch
is superfluous and you *may* benefit from using a charformat switch instead.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the charformat switch had no affect.

Thanks,

As I said I have no experience of postscript command language. As a
workaround, maybe http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm may offer some
pointers (don't be put off by the filename of the page).
