You need to tell the printer to select the maunal feed. I can't
exactly explain where to put this but the required postscript is:
statusdict /manualfeed true put
The remainder of the job will request manual feed. Just guessing,
statusdict /manualfeed false put
should put you back to tray feed but it will automatically go back
to tray feed at the end of the current job.
Hope this is a clue.
