Change To Manual Feed Printing From Mac
Question: Q: I can't select the manual feed tray for my HP printer. I have a MacBook with Mac OsX Lion and I have an HP Officejet J6480 All-in-One printer. My cardstock keeps jamming and everything I've read says I should use the manual tray, but I don't see anywhere to select which tray to use. When printing, select the correct page size and media type.
