What I have tried:

'Failed - taking default Printer

2. rpt.PrintOptions.CustomPaperSource = PrintDialog1.Document.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource
' GETTING ERROR like :

Method invocation failed because 'Public Overrides Property CustomPaperSource() As System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSource' cannot be called with these arguments:
    Argument matching parameter 'value' cannot convert from 'PaperSourceCollection' to 'PaperSource'.

3. rpt.PrintOptions.CustomPaperSource = PrintDialog1.PrinterSettings.PaperSources

Method invocation failed because 'Public Overrides Property CustomPaperSource() As System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSource' cannot be called with these arguments:
    Argument matching parameter 'value' cannot convert from 'PaperSource' to 'PaperSource'

4. rpt.PrintOptions.PaperSource = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].PaperSource.Lower
' Taking default: i.e. Upper Tray with blank copy

Last Line to Print is

rpt.PrintToPrinter(1, True, 0, 1)

Please, read this: Print a crystal report from two trays.[^]

Hello,

These types of issues can get a little complicated so I pinged one of the resources on the developer support team. Here is his response with a few edits for clarity:

There's a lot of things to check for. The first thing is make sure that the latest hot fixes are installed. We have fixed a couple of known issues.

(here is the link to the download page, make sure that you find the right match for your product and version)

Secondly, make sure the report is based on the default printer.

Sometimes, checking "No Printer", saving the report, and then unchecking it will clear whatever is saved with the report and reset itself to the default printer.

Next, when setting the PaperSource property, the enums being used are taken from the .NET Framework defaults, which don't always match to the constants used by the printer driver. In other words, each printer driver uses constant values to enumerate the available trays for the printer. These constants may not match what is provided by the CrystalDecisions.[Shared].PaperSource enums. So you have to get these constants from the driver itself, outside of CR. There is a Microsoft sample that helps identify the constants for a particular printer.

Once you have that value, you can pass it to Crystal. If this doesn't work, then I suggest calling Customer Support.

For Each PSource In PrintDialog1.PrinterSettings.PaperSources

                                   If PSource.SourceName.ToUpper() = strTray.ToUpper Then
                                       rpt.PrintOptions.CustomPaperSource = PSource

                                       Exit For
                                   End If

                               Next

This will resolve my issue
