See http://tinyurl.com/6e7sva Three trays is the maximum for this printer. The "x" model that you have comes with the maximum number. A question comes to mind, with 500 sheet capacity (250 in each cassette) and a 50 sheet multipurpos tray looking at a fourth tray suggests exceeding the duty cycle of the printer. Or do you simply want a tray for special paper? Tony MS MVP Printing/Imaging
From: lenny on 16 Apr 2008 17:44 Hi Tony Yes it is needed for special paper. On the bottom of the second tray there are all the same fittings that would allow another similar tray to be added. Is this not possible on this machine? Can you recommend one that will take 3 proper trays but doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

From: Tony on 18 Apr 2008 20:26 Lenny The printer PCL driver does not support tray 4, so that means the hardware won't support it either. I can only assume the tray 3 option can be installed on a printer that does support tray 4 and that is why the hardware is present on the bottom of the tray. I am reluctant to recommend printers due to the myriad of options that are available and the difficulties in assessing needs in a forum like this. However I would suggest that you call an HP dealer and ask for the cheapest printer that supports 3 cassette trays (plus the MP tray, tray 1). It is likely that a printer that supports 4 trays will do what you want since that feature generally only comes on high spec printers. You would have to specify your operating system, the type of connection you use (Ethernet, USB etc.) and whether you need a duplexer etc. Good luck Tony "lenny" <lenny(a)thetakeout.com> wrote: >Hi Tony >Yes it is needed for special paper.

hi tony, thanks for your reply. I spoke to HP yesterday and they assured me that the printer would take the 4th tray? I do hope you are wrong because I have just ordered it!
