That's because if you print a PostScript file through a Windows printer
driver, the printer driver doesn't touch the file (RAW mode) and
therefore cannot do any tray handling. So no matter what you set in the
Windows printer driver, it won't have any effect on how the document is
printed.

It is possible to select a different tray by using a special FO
extension for the PostScript renderer to insert special PostScript
commands. But you have to know the exact command for your printer to get
that done (it depends on the printer). The extension is described here:
