seeking HOWTO use a printer with multiple paper trays

I have an HP printer* with multiple paper trays. How do I enable automatic selection of the tray where I have a specific type of paper installed?
(I'll defer doing this from LibreOfficei for now.)

I installed the printer using HPLIP and it works every way that I ask it to. I can use printer console controls to select the paper tray and get the output that I seek. I am hoping there is something that I can do to accomplish that without a trip to the physical printer.

OKAY, I can:

• Launch the HPLIP Device Manager, then select the printer. Choose Printer Settings and General...whew! At long last, I can then scroll to set the desired paper tray.
• The desktop++ Printer Status dialog does not offer any way to select a tray. It appears that I might be able to adjust the settings for an existing print job on the queue for my multi-tray printer.

I really hate to open another dialog, select the paper tray, print, then select the tray that I use most of the time.

Here is an example use case:

I'm in a browser and have a page-fragment that I want printed. Using my brower, I select PRINT.[/LIST]
Then, within the browser's printer page, I set portrait vs. landscape according to the shape of the page-fragment. I also set 1 vs 2 sided and 1 vs. 2 vs. 4 pages per sheet.

I do not find a way to select the paper tray within the broweer dialog.

I select the option to use the system printer page instead of the browser's page.
(In most cases I must re-configure the settings.)

Again, I do not find a way to select the paper tray.

I use one of the known-to-me dialogs to select the desired paper tray.

I select PRINT.

I use the known-to-me dialog to set the tray back to my prefered default.

Thank you in Advance,
