As I look to buy a new HP Laserjet printer I'd like to make sure it'll work
w/o too much fuss. The server here is running SCO Release = 3.2v5.0.7 and
filePro V 5.6.  Currently we've got a HPLaserJet 4250 with two paper trays
that has worked great, and is still working great. I'd like to add an
additional printer for a new process that will be printing a 3 part form
single sided.  Page 1 in white, page 2 yellow and page 3 pink.  So what I'm
looking for is a printer that accepts 3 paper trays. Price is of course
important but not the overriding concern. The duty cycle isn't too demanding
we're only talking about 300 or so forms a month.  Figure 1,000 pages a
month.  The make or break item is that it must have 3 paper trays. I
appreciate any advice you can offer.

I have recently installed an HP P4014 which has up to five trays in addition
to the flop down tray which HP calls tray 1.  We have the networked version
with the duplexing option and three 500 sheet trays.  It works well but HP
support could not tell me the tray source commands for a non-Windows box.  I
had to figure them out for myself.

I have several HP4350TN printers installed with 3 and 4 500 sheet trays
installed. (Tray 1 is another "manual" tray). Great printer. Rarely needs to
be serviced, hardly ever jams.

I have the print codes for trays and other features as well in the printer
file I modified. Running on SCO OS6, but works well concurrently with
Windows. Invoicing prints on plain paper, with White, Yellow and Pink on one
printer. The other prints reports (2 trays), checks and custom reports on
paper with holes punched. (Checks from QB for Windows, plus many items
printed from the WEB and other Windows applications, as well as many Unix
reports.
