Thanks Gary! I couldn't find the "Tray 1 Mode=First", so I decided to try the
other solution, and this one worked. It looks like when the printer (a LaserJet
5si, at least) doesn't know what to do with a print job that doesn't specify the
paper size, it will print from the bottom tray. I, however, would have expected
the default paper size that you set from JetAdmin to work, but it doesn't...
Thanks all for your help!
