FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION : Microsoft Windows 2000
[Version 5.00.2195]


ADDITIONAL OPERATING SYSTEMS : Various other versions
Windows



EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Printer: HP Color Laserjet 4500
Using the javax.print.* (JPS) classes.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
It's not possible to choose or use any tray other than the
default tray on several printers. I can verify it with an
HP Color Laserjet 4500. Some types of Kyocera seem to have
the same problem.
The problem seems to be that the driver uses 'device
specific' bin numbers/names.

Output from DeviceCapabilities / DC_BINS / DC_BINNAMES
(Win32 API):

Printer: [HP Color LaserJet 4500]
- 15, 'Automatically Select'
- 7, 'Auto Select'
- 259, 'Tray 1'
- 258, 'Tray 2'
- 257, 'Tray 3'

I suspect JPS ignores bin-numbers > 256.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Use javax.print.ServiceUI.printDialog
2. Choose the printer.
3. In the Page Setup / Source combo-box the only choices
are now:
- Automatically Select
- Form Source
- Automatic Feeder

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Excpected (in that combobox) are:
- Automatically Select
- Form Source
- Automatic Feeder
- Tray 1
- Tray 2
- Tray 3

This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;

public class TrayTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Get a list of printservices.
PrintService[] services =
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(
DocFlavor.SERVICE_FORMATTED.PRINTABLE, null);
// No special attributes requested.
PrintRequestAttributeSet attributes
= new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
// Show a printDialog.
PrintService service = ServiceUI.printDialog(null, 50, 50,
services, null, null, attributes);
System.exit(0);
}
}

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
If you need JPS: None.
Otherwise java.awt.print.PrinterJob.printDialog()
