Pulling paper from wrong tray

I have created three HP Laserjet 4240 printers in Windows XP Pro. Each printer has a different default tray. They all print to the same physical print device which is a TCP/IP printer with four trays. If I print a test page they pull from the correct default tray. I then created a virtual printer in PD using the reprint feature and the laserjet 4240 driver. I added printer2 and printer3 which print from tray 2 and tray 3 respectively. When I send a job to the virtual printer it pulls from tray 3 and tray 4. How do I fix this?

What I am trying to do is print the same page on three different colors of paper without having to print three times.

Scott,

The tray selection is made from the virtual printer, the default settings for the physical printer will be ignored. I'm afraid there is no way of doing what you want with the current release.

Will this feature come in the next release?

Stefan,

I'm sorry we don't pre-announce new features, you need to make your buying decision on what's in the product now.
