Actually, have you ever tried to print a document using manual feed
without the tray installed? You will find that the printer will not
print without it...

You can hold them in while printing, or wedge a block of styrofoam (which is malable and sticks in very nicely) in such a way as to depress both switches. Lock away the cartridge -- its what you are trying to save anyway. -- ! Kenton A. Hoover {hoptoad,hplabs,lll-lcc,ptsfa}!well!shibumi ! ! SNAIL: 1748 Clement Street ! !
