HP OfficePro 7740: only one tray available (solved)

Asked by SwissEagle

Hello
I'm Using Ubuntu 16.04.
I just installed HP OfficeJet 7740 with HPLIP 3.16.10.
Printing and scanning are working fine.
Problem is that I cannot choose the tray.
Because envelopes have to be put in the tray #1, I had to put sheets in try #2. Problem: I cannot choose tray #2 (Output Tray is either "not available" or, from LibreOffice, I have one choice: "Main Tray".

Does the problem come from my installation? Do you think you could help?

After over 2 weeks, no one could help. But I still have the problem (now I use HPLIP 3.16.11).
Is there any hope, this issue would be fixed with a future update of HPLIP?
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards.

John (Switzerland)
