As this requires Microsoft, Adobe, Sharp and a few hundred programmers to get it all right to deliver what you want, my bet is it's a bug in the software somewhere.
Tracking down whose issue it is can take a lot more time than say, printing the one page from one tray then going through the motions to print all the rest from tray 2. That's what I did for years since I didn't want to spend weeks on the phone about it.

Wonder if anyone can help - have acrobat 8 running under XP with a Sharp printer. Have a 5 double sided print job with first page taking from tray 1 and the other 4 pages from tray 2. My problem is that pages 1,4 and 5 go from tray 1 rather than just the first page.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks
Dave
