Somehow the default paper tray got changed
Starting about 2-3 days ago, every time I print a document, the
printer (HP LaserJet 5000N, on a LAN) prompts me to load paper in the manual feed tray. When I examine the Paper Source tab of the Page Setup option, I see that all (or most) of my documents have been changed to the Manual Tray option. Some of these are new documents and some of them are old documents. I also checked my templates (I have 40-50 custom templates) and all of the ones I checked also have that option changed. I may have changed that option in one or two documents (although I don't remember doing that), but I sure didn't change all of them. How could this have happened and, more importantly, how can I change it back without editing every document and template? I checked the printer settings (File | Print... | Options) and the printer somehow got changed to "Manual tray". I changed it to "Auto select", but the documents are still set to the Manual tray" setting. Thanks -- Running Word 2000 SP-3 on Windows 2000 |

Start--Settings--Printers...open the printer you're using and check its
default. ************ Anne Troy VBA Project Manager www.OfficeArticles.com "LurfysMa" wrote in message ...

Something sounds hinky. I might try reinstalling my printer driver before I
do anything else. If you get the same results, then troubleshoot Word: http://www.officearticles.com/word/s...osoft_word.htm ************ Anne Troy VBA Project Manager www.OfficeArticles.com "LurfysMa" wrote in message ...
