Uhmmm.... actually, no. It does *not* contain valid code to switch
the trays, AFAICS. It pretends to, but it doesn't work like that.

It contains "empty" code only. It should look similar to this:

  %%BeginSetup
  [....]
  %%IncludeFeature: *PageRegion A4
  << /PageSize A4 [595 842] /ImageBBox null >> setpagedevice
  } stopped cleartomark
  %%IncludeFeature: *InputSlot Tray3
  << /MediaPosition 3 >> setpagedevice
  } stopped cleartomark
  %%EndSetup

  [....]

  %%Page: 2 2
  %%PageBoundingBox: 12 12 583 830
  %%BeginPageSetup
  %%IncludeFeature: *InputSlot Tray4
  << /MediaPosition 4 >> setpagedevice
  } stopped cleartomark
  %%EndPageSetup


But before you go and submit a bug report, wait if Mike and/or Helge
chime in to comment (they are the resident PostScript gurus here :-)
