Old message, but I still wanted to reply for the Google archives.

I cannot get GTK to change tray during a print job. I had to break the
print job into two jobs and manually call
gtk_print_settings_set_default_source() inbetween jobs.

Ideally GTK should be able to change tray *and* paper orientation/size
during a print job. There doesn't seem to be an RFE for this, but I
think it would be a good feature.
