Big Sur: How to select paper source when printing? We use a type of mailing label that needs to be printed from the rear tray on our small laserprinter. However, since we started using our new M1 MacBook Pros, no-one has been able to find a working option to select which tray the printer uses for these, which are printed from documents in PDF format. The usual print option Show Presets is present, and it contains the usual list: Copies & Pages, Media & Quality, Layout, Paper Handling, Cover Page, and Watermark. The Media & Quality menu contains the options we need to be able to change: Media Feed and Media Type. However, neither of them can now be changed from Auto Select, which obviously means the printer uses paper from the main tray. Has anyone found a way to change this, please? We don't send a lot of mail this way, but having to print 15 - 20 prepaid postage labels a day onto plain paper and then cut them out and stick them on with tape is an absurd waste of time! Thank you.

You create them manually in a blank Pages document, and then save it as a template. Or, you can generate a PDF from Pages, and then open it in Affinity Designer, and re-export it as PDF, where you can add the following from its PDF export More category:

with the output PDF bearing these marks:

If your printer is requiring a PDF/X-2003 compatible document, that too is available in the Affinity Designer Export. You can test this with the free, fully featured Affinity Designer trial.
