Problems with PrinterData [message #628180]

What am I doing wrong?

I have a 3 tray printer(MyPrinter) with specific types of paper in each of them

I want to print from tray 3 always. and In my printer properties I have selected tray 3 as the paper source.

It works fine, if I use following code: and Select the printer @ run time.
.
.
.
PrinterData data = new PrintDialog(shell).open();
if(data == null)return;
Printer printer = new Printer(data);
.
.
.

It prints from tray 2 if I use the following code

String driver = "winspool";
String name = "MyPrinter";
PrinterData = new PrinterData(driver, name);
if(data == null)return;
Printer printer = new Printer(data);

This is happening since SWT 3.5 release.
Thanks,
Iyengar.

Under debug I figured out the following
PrinterData obtained from PrintDialog has Field otherData set to an array?
This is null from new PrinterData("winspool", "MyPrinter");

Can someone please tell me What otherData is?

Thanks,

Iyengar.
