Looks like your PPD is set to default to "InputSlot=Manual". You can 
check for available options with this command:

   lpoptions -d printername -l

The ones tagged with an asterisk ("*") are the default settings used
if you do not set your own. See if in the output of loptotions there 
is a line like

   InputSlot/Media Source: Default Tray1 Tray2 Tray3 *Manual Auto

Try to print with this command:

   lpr -P printername -o InputSlot=Default tiger.eps

and see if this helps. Assuming that you have CUPS 1.2.x installed, 
here is an introduction to print with options:
