The key is to map the AFP BIN numbers to the PCL tray numbers.
We are using HP9000 and HP9050 printers with physical trays 2, 3 and 4. Tray 4
is the high capacity tray.
We use the LRS VPS product which has a table for translating AFP BIN number to
PCL tray numbers.
I expect that Info Print has a similar translation.
PCL
TRAY HP 9000
1 TRAY 2
5 TRAY 3
20 TRAY 4
