All what I can say is that if I type "cat file>LPT1", where `file' is a
either a standard text file or a PostScript file, the correct tray is
used. If now I type "enscript -p LPT1 file" as you suggested, the wrong
tray is used.

If I do "enscript -o foo.ps file" and then "cat foo.ps >LPT1" the wrong
tray is also used.

May be enscript issue some specific postscript command which make my
printer use the wrong paper tray ?
