Can you make the first page print from a different tray?

$ lpadmin -p ricoh1060 -o AP_FIRSTPAGE_InputSlot-default=1Tray

I printed an MSWord document (all trays set to default/auto) through Samba.

No, as it's only print jobs that originate from Windows machines that I'm interested in.  I just tried this:

$ ls /etc > test
$ lp -d ricoh1060 -o InputSlot=4Tray test

And the three page document came out entirely from "4Tray", just as the Windows print job did.

The manufacturer supplied PPD for the machine, modified slightly to remove unused paper types and to rename the trays shown through the GUI so instead of "Tray 1" and "Tray 2" it says "Tray 1 (Letterhead)" and "Tray 2 (Plain A4)".

*DefaultInputSlot: 4Tray
*InputSlot MultiTray/Bypass Tray: "<</MediaPosition 0>> setpagedevice"
*InputSlot 1Tray/Tray 1 (Letterhead): "<</MediaPosition 1>> setpagedevice"

Hmmm...I keep getting a 'client error not possible' when trying to add the printer.  Doing through the web also gives the error when I use a file:/ URL.  I tried setting up a bogus LPD printer so I could grab the file out of /var/spool/cups, but it's the same as the source file, it hasn't been converted to PostScript.

Perhaps that's why it's not working?  I don't have GhostScript or anything set up, so the PS code is probably being generated on the Windows machine and CUPS isn't modifying it, it's just passing it straight through to the printer.  Would that make sense?

Thanks,
Adam.
