How Do I Choose Print Tray?

Hello all, I just upgraded my warehouse computer from a 4 year old Compaq to a MacMini. (Woot!)

PROBLEM: I need to be able to send certain print jobs to Tray 2 (paper invoices) and other print jobs to tray 3 (fedex sticky labels). But when I go to print in Preview (or any application), there's no "Select Tray" or "Choose Tray" option.

SOLUTION: I've scoured the web but can't find any answers. The HP printer isn't under warranty any more, so HP doesn't want to talk to me. Any one have any ideas?

Here's what I see when I go to File > Print: http://grab.by/41xB

Here's what I see on System Prefs > Print & Fax: http://grab.by/41xJ

Here's what I see on System Prefs > Print & Fax > Options & Supplies... : http://grab.by/41xF

Thx in advance!

If you do not find an option for the trays in the Print dialog where Arch indicated, you may have to tell the driver that you have them by selecting the printer in the Print & Fax control pane, and then Options & Supplies. Or you may be using a Gutenprint driver which does not support multiple trays.

If you find the setting, you can save the setting and name one Labels or something like that.
