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.
