 | HP LJ III - print on legal paper only??? by tim (9/2/03 8:37 PM) reply | + / - | Hi Folks,
I've been trying to set up our SOHO HP LaserJet III to use only legal paper by default - we print 90% of our docs on legal paper, with the occasional MS-Word doc coming up periodically on letter sized paper.
I've got everything set up nicely in the printer to use Legal in the tray, but of course it asks to 'Load Letter' when that pesky letter-sized page comes along.
Is there a way to have all printed material simply print out on the legal paper from the tray so folks don't have to jump up and load a sheet of letter in periodcially? Or am I limited to what the software defaults demand, i.e. must I set each application to print on legal paper?
Thanks in advance,
Tim.

Throw away the III, go buy a HP 4000T, lot better printer, faster too, and you can set up each bin individually.
Best regards

And D67, thanks, the 'continue' button solution is where I am right now...
Short of having all 20 people in the office change their desktop apps to select only 'legal only' it doesn't sound like there's a solution. I was hoping for an 'HP Override' of some sort to simply crank everything out on legal.
Any further ideas much appreciated!
Cheers,
Tim.

Have a look at EBAY.COM some of the prices are amazingly cheap.
Cheers

He would have saved 30% if have purchased one from me. Gotta love that. I made him felt really stupid. He called me before that inquiring about my LJ's.
