Not at all !!! When I use enscript to print, I only use enscript. I
principaly use enscript to print text files in landscape mode, with two
pages per sheet and with pretty headers.
But as I said, I also have the tray problem when I invoke enscript with no
options at all.
Now, could it be that enscript invoke GhostScript under my back to do the
PostScript output ?

Because the _emacs.xpml which comes with the DJGPP port of emacs does so.
But you are right. Nevertheless, if I feed my printer directly with the
output of ps-print-buffer, the wrong tray is used.
I have the feeling that my DOS programs generate "incorrect" PostScript
and that on the other hand, all of my Windows programs generate "correct"
PostScript in relation to my printer.
