Most likely, your current PPD is good enough. It just needs the "modi-
fication" where in the "InstallableOptions" group of settings, you need
to tell it about the addtional trays.

Go to the web interface

  http://localhost:631/printers/<yourprintername>

and click on the "Configure Printer" (or whatever it is called), and
enable the right setting amongst the "installable options".
