I used to enjoy printing an envelope (or a bunch of envelopes) using two command buttons on Sesame (one for current record only and the other for retrieved records)

I am unable to get the printer to use the 1st tray which is where my envelopes are:

The printer I'm using is an HP Officejet Pro 8600

When I print from Word, it "magically" knows to go to tray 1 for envelopes and to tray 2 for letter-size paper.

From Sesame I can only get it to go to tray 2 . . . and if I remove tray 2 and force it to go to tray 1, I get an error "mismatch paper size" (or something like that)

Here's the portion of the programming pertaining to the print (it simply follows other programming that checks to see whether the address portion is incomplete, etc)

{
AlternateDefaultPrinter("HP Officejet Pro 8600 - Envelopes")

Newpage(950,412)
PrintString("Spencer Wulwick", 30, 25, 0, "Arial", 14, 0)
PrintString("1901 N Andrews Ave", 30, @PageExtentY(), 0, "Arial", 14, 0)
PrintString("Wilton Manors, FL 33311-3928", 30, @PageExtentY(), 0, "Arial", 14, 0)

PrintString(Name, 450, 200, 0, "BArial", 16, 0)
PrintString(Address1 + " " + Apt, 450, @PageExtentY(), 0, "BArial", 16, 0)
PrintString(City + ", " + State + "  " + Zip, 450, @PageExtentY(), 0, "BArial", 16, 0)

FinishPage()
RestoreDefaultPrinter()
} 

I checked the programming guide and tried adding the following

PrintPagePaper(Envelope)
PrintPageTray(1)
 

I've also tried (even though the manual says to use an integer

PrintPageTray(Envelope)
 

I would appreciate help for 2 reasons.

(1) Ray suggested I use mail merge which I'm very interested in; however, I am having even more difficulty with that and,
(2) even if I did get mail merge working - which I hope I will - it is still more convenient to use the one button to print a single envelope directly from the record, without having to wait for Word to open up (and I'm not sure what else, since I can't get that far).

Thanks!

I used to have a printer with a separate tray, but it died, and my new printer does not have multiple trays, so I can't test any new configurations, but...

Here's what I used to use in my code, and it always worked well for me.

PrintPagePaper(28)  // PRINT_PAPER_LETTER
PrintPageTray(7)  // PRINTER_TRAY_AUTO 

I noticed that you tried to enter just "Envelope" in PrintPagePaper(), but it would need to be "PRINT_PAPER_ENVELOPE", or just the integer of "30".

As far as the PrintPageTray() setting, you may need to experiment to find the right integer -- most likely "5", which is the same as using PRINTER_TRAY_ENVELOPE.

Well, it's good to support Lantica once in a while with some financial support.

They've released a lot of free updates over the years, so they certainly aren't greedy about it, and deserve some support back.
