I'm currently using "HP LaserJet 8150 Foomatic/Postscript
(recommended)". "lpoptions -d -l" gives me the following:

(I abbreviated the Number of Copies-Section)

I just found a lpoptions output for the LJ 8150 series on [1]. There you 
can see an option like "Option21/Multi-Bin Mailbox Mode: [....] 
MailboxModeStacker *MailboxModeMailbox".

How can I check if the printer is supported by HP's own open source drivers?
