unique problem w/ lj 8000n

[Donut_Shop]

I haven't found any helpful info regarding my problem, so I hope someone here can help me out. Our printer is hooked up to our network. We're running mostly macintosh computers however some are running OS 9.2 still, others are running OS X 10.3. When using the paper feed option in MS Word, you can choose to print the first page (letter head) from tray 2 and the following pages from tray 4 (plain paper). This option won't work with the computers running 10.3. It simply prints all the pages from tray 4. I never get any errors, and it doesn't seem to be any hardware issues being that it works on the computers running OS 9.2. Please help. Any info/help on how to fix this will be appreciated.

Hi,
I have no experience whatsoever with Mac but I have seen people mention Gimp-Print or Guten-Print as solutions to printing problems in other Forums, it seems to be available on the Macupdate site.
I hope you can do something with this answer.

I tried installing OS X 10.4 to see if by any chance the driver's included in Tiger would fix it. Unfortunately it did not. It seems as though gimp-print doesn't even support the 8000 series HPs. The new beta version does, but I never really liked dealing with beta versions. I spose I'll give it a try but if anyone has any other information to offer, please do.

Does anybody know of any fixes to software related tray issues, ie. have a printer that won't print to a specific tray? Could help in a solution for my problem. Please I'm desperate and really need some help.
