There is an undocumented option (inherited from MacOS X) for this
called AP_FIRSTPAGE_InputSlot which will provide this functionality.
To make it the default for all jobs, use:

     lpadmin -p printername -o AP_FIRSTPAGE_InputSlot-default=foo

where "foo" is the InputSlot option for tray 2.  Use the lpoptions
command to see what that is:

     lpoptions -p printername -l
