At work we recently got a new printer. Compared to what we had before, 
it is quite the beast. It has 6 (yes, six) input trays. The CUPS printer 
software on my Debian box lets me choose the paper size for the whole 
printer. But some of the trays have different sizes of paper. Is there a 
way to tell CUPS the association between input tray and paper size that 
is loaded in the tray? I haven't found it in the CUPS web GUI, so 
presumably it will have to be done at the command line. Google searches 
haven't been successful so far at finding a way to do it, though.
