Printing from tray 4

Hi there,
I have a button on a form that when clicked prints a report based on certain criteria.
The simple line of code is;
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewNormal, , "ShipNoteNumber = " & Me.ShipNoteNumber
.
What I would like to be able to do, is to insert something in there that tells the printer to use tray 4 on our office printer.
I already have Tray 4 set-up as the default tray in my normal windows settings, but as it's a network printer it seems to always want to print using the "automatic" mode. So it always prints from tray 1, and when tray 1 is empty it goes to tray 2 etc. etc.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanx

I would be looking for the answer in the printer documentation side of things, it sounds to me like you need to manipulate a driver property that would be specific to that model printer.

Thanx for that, I have had our IT guy in work have a look at it and he sorted the drivers etc out. I thought I may have been able to do it with VBA, but no need. (if it aint broke, don't fix it)
