How do I change the paper source of an Excel printer using Visual Basic?

You can specify the paper size, but I don't know of a way to select the tray.
I looked for a dialog box call that might give you an option to manually
select a source tray, but didn't see one. Maybe some one has developed an
add in that I don't know about.

I would approach this problem by switching on Record Macro and then starting
a print job during which I would select a tray. Then I would look at the
recorded macro to see if there was a line of code that did the task.
I do not have a printer with two paper trays so I cannot experiment.

But a quick Google makes it seem I am wrong. Have a look at:

This workaround (and other hits) suggest defining a series of printers each
with a different tray selected. Then in VBA you select the appropriate
printer.
