Hi Martin, 

You have the possibility to ask the *printername* and make a decision, like: 

statusdict begin 
80 string printername (The OCE Printer Name) eq 
{end 1 statusdict /setpapertray get exec}{end}ifelse 

In this case only the OCE printer executes the "1 statusdict /setpapertray get exec" paper tray call. But you need to known the internal OCE *printername*, of course ! 

They are other device dependent operators, like *product* with similar behaviour. 

Hope this helps,
