Cannot print on another tray

[Batajus]

Hey guys,
i'm trying to print a document on the second paper tray.

My printer supports following media sources:
'media-source-supported': [ 'tray-1', 'tray-2', 'tray-3', 'tray-1-man' ],

I'm using the code from your printPDF.js sample:
var file = { "operation-attributes-tag": { "requesting-user-name": "User", "job-name": "Print Job", "document-format": "application/pdf" }, "job-attributes-tag": { "media-col": { "media-source": "tray-2" } }, data: data };

But my printer always shows the error message you need to add paper to the first tray.
Do you have any ideas?

Hi Batajus,

I think your issue is related to the issue I just opened. (#43)

As a work around you can see my example of writing out the message to the printer manually.

I believe I have #43 fixed now.
For more information on how to select a media source, see: #46 (comment)

I found another solution for my issue:

var ipp = require('./../ipp');
var PDFDocument = require('pdfkit');
var concat = require("concat-stream");

var doc = new PDFDocument({margin:0});
doc.text(".", 0, 0);


doc.pipe(concat(function (data) {
	var printer = ipp.Printer("http://cp02.local.:631/ipp/printer");
	var msg = {
		"operation-attributes-tag": {
			"requesting-user-name": "Bumblebee",
			"job-name": "whatever.pdf",
			"document-format": "application/pdf"
		},
		"job-attributes-tag":{
			"media": [ "tray-2" ] // <- This worked for me
		}
		, data: data
	};
	printer.execute("Print-Job", msg, function(err, res){
		console.log(err);
		console.log(res);
	});
}));
doc.end();

I used this (4.2.11) for my solution.

But i will try your fix as soon as possible and inform you about the results ;-)

@Batajus, just a recommendation: if you are going to quote an IPP specification for an IPP attribute definition, for instance "job-priority", you might want to quote the latest non-obsolete revision for IPP, which is RFC 8011 section 5.2.1.

@wifiprintguy thanks for the tipp ;-)
I referenced the old one, because I have used it and not the latest one. But here's the link to the respective paragraph in the new one.

@williamkapke, I tried the latest version and now everything works fine, so thanks for the fix =)
