The "right" paper tray is the number 2 which contains A4 paper, and the
"wrong" paper tray is the number 3 which contains A3 paper. Paper tray
number 1 is normally not used as it is intendeed for manual feed printing.

I already tried to use -Ssetpapertray:2, but with no luck. Either my
printer (HP LaserJet 5 Si/Mx) doesn't recognize set setpapertray command
(but I don't know as I don't have access to the User Guide) or the problem
is deeper in enscript.
