I cannot get my printer to use tray 2 as the default. It always goes to manual feed.
Check the troubleshooter for your specific model and see if it can help: http://downloadfreemanuals.com/category/hewlett-packard-manuals/

if you using office go to page setup and select the tray(s) that you want to use for the first page and other pages ( both must be the same ) unless you only want the first page as letter head and the rest on plain paper or something along those lines ?
Also if you go into the properties of the printer and go to advanced and then click on the printing defaults button and see if the options in there are the same or different to whats in printing preferences.
If they are set to tray 1 then it will default to tray 1

Your tray 1 might be open (even just partially) or your manual feed setting might be on. You can find this setting under > Configure device / Printing / Manual Feed
SOURCE: HP color laserjet 4600 dn printer How do I set
From the control panel of the printer, do the following:
1. arrow down once to highlight the 2nd item: "paper handling".
2. press the check button (turquoise color) to select this option.
3. arrow down 2x's until you highlight the "tray 2 size".
4. hit the check button to select this item.
5. You should see a size that is "letter" and there should be a ' * ' asterisk which means that is the default setting. If you see other paper sizes as well, then arrow up or arrow down to highlight the preferred size, and then press the check button to insert the asterisk ' * ' which will set that as the default.
6. you change the paper type as well as paper size for the other trays in the same fashion. Most HP printers will select paper according to the SIZE as well as the TYPE. The printer can "sense" the paper size in the paper cassette tray by the stops that hold the paper. Therefore the printer will choose that paper based upon the SIZE and what you define as its type.

check the paper menu for tray 1 setting, it should be set to cassette. then make sure the paper size and type for trays 2 & 3 are set correctly.
when you go to the menu of the printer is the paper TYPE set correctly?
tray 2 should be letter ( if using plain paper)
tray 3 legal, label etc...
and tray 1 should be any

the tray settings can be adjusted by openingthe driver window ( control panel- my printers ) use the tabs at the top look for 'Paper' under this tab you can set which is default, what the default paper size is, whether the printer adjusts the print size to fit paper and even low/high toner/ economode levels - hope this helps,
