YOu have to drop down to the API level and modify the TDeviceMode (API
DEVMODE) record for the selected printer. Usually the printer itself selects a
tray based on the requested paper format, so you specify a paper format, not a
tray. The TDeviceMode record has a field dmDefaultSource which specifies the
tray. The docs mark this field as reserved, must be 0, though...
