How do you select the paper tray when using apps like Words
I have a printer with 5 trays and there seems to be no way to
select one. Apps like LibreOffice have a drop down to select
trays

This is openSuse12.3 and KDE 4.10.5 ( using a remote queue on a Suse server )

Thanks

A bit more on this ....

Here is the print dialog from Words - note no 'Properties'

Here is the print dialog from Karbon - it has a Properties button where you can set all the options for trays etc

Have you tried checking under "Options" in Words to see if Properties becomes visible then?

If you mean the Options button in the print dialog
you get when doing File/Print, then yes, it isn't any
where to be found :-(

As far as I can see the only way to get a print
dialog with the Properties button is to go via
the print preview.
