           Summary: Multi Tray Selection in Print Dialogue
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bugs.kde.org at sjau.ch


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

In offices it's common to have a seperate first page for letters usually
containing company logo and stuff. Because of that, multi-tray printing is
essential.

What I noticed this far is that in LibreOffice I can setup page layouts and in
those I can set the printer to use paper from a specified tray. This works
good.

 However there are situations where you first want to make a test print out -
be it a draft or something. In those situations you don't want to print
directly on the (more expensive) company paper but use cheaper paper, maybe an
alternate tray alltogether.

It seems to me that CUPS does support tray selection input for printing. On OSX
you can setup in the printing dialogue multiple profiles (black and white,
print all from tray X, print first page from tray Y and all other pages from
tray Z, etc.).

I couldn't find a similar feature on Linux or KDE at all. The only thing I was
able to find was the page setup in LibreOffice.

It would be great if such a tray selection / preference saving option would be
added to the KDE print dialogue.

Reproducible: Didn't try
