You can either go into smit, printer, change/display queue and select
job attributes or you can use "escape" sequences sent in a header
file.

For example: 
<esc>&l4H sets paper tray 3
<esc>&l1H sets paper tray 2

"<esc>" looks like this: ^[&

(l = lower case L)

That being said, for non-standard (non HP) printers, you'll need to
read the PPD file that came with the printer to determine exact
settings.
