Missing Tray 2 support for HP OfficeJet Pro 7740

Asked by Gregory Smith

Just installed hplip for my new OfficeJet Pro 7740. Running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Everything (Scanning and Printing) works well, except there is no option to select Tray 2 as the paper source.
I currently have a "custom" size in Tray 1 (The only tray HP allows for non-standard paper sizes) and reserve Tray 2 for standard "letter" paper. Printer is set to default to Tray 2, with Tray 1 locked.
Test prints (and all others) go to Tray 1, with no option on the print popup to select tray 2.
Am I missing something, or is multi-tray support not available for this printer?
