In Excel (2007) VBA how do I print the worksheet to a specific printer tray? This will just print to the default tray on the printer:
ws.PrintOut ActivePrinter:="\\print_server\printer_name"

Microsoft offers one ugly solution to this problem; using
SendKeysto manually choose the correct tray from the print settings dialog box.Another option may be to set up additional printers in Windows, where each printer is actually linked to a different tray on the same printer. You could then select the appropriate tray in VBA. This artcile offers up the details.
Or, if your printer happens to have a different size of paper in the tray you want to print to, you can set (for example):
ws.PageSetup.PaperSize = xlPaperLegalAnd the printer will automatically select the correct tray. I just tried this out on my printer here, and it forced the sheet to print on the manual tray, because I don't actually have a legal size paper tray.
