In my case, I found that removing the Ubuntu CUPS package and installing 
CUPS directly from source fixed the problem.  I can now successfully 
print banner pages on paper drawn from a different tray than the rest of 
the job.  My banner page Postscript file contains the following which 
works for my HP LaserJet printers:

    %%BeginSetup
    %%IncludeFeature: *MediaType Color
    %%IncludeFeature: *Duplex None
    %%EndSetup

I think a very reasonable feature to add to CUPS would be to allow job 
options to be configured separately for the job sheets from those used 
to print the job itself.
