How to send HP printer escape codes from Excel?

Trying to select tray 2 on an HP 1200N ink jet printer from a VBA so each
page prints using the correct tray. I know the <esc> codes to send I just
don't know how to send them.

Ivan,
I am trying to use your code but I also am using a networked printer
identified as shown below and on PORT USB003. I tried using "USB003" for
"LPT1". It does not generate an error but nothing happens.

Application.ActivePrinter = "HP Business Inkjet 1200 Series on Ne02:"

Any other ideas

Thanks
