It may work. Only when the page/style setting overrides the printer setting.
And I haven't had a solution where it prints pages from different trays. I
haven't found a way to print from different trays and override this with
another setting. I have 60 sheets of paper to proof ;-)

What sucks: Perhaps there is a way to do printing from different trays. But
the fat lady won't sing, because I need to print a copy from all pages on a
third tray. With MS-O we can switch trays with a macro. Quit easy. Macro
record, printer setting, print, quit, macro recording. Delete unwanted stuff
and it works.  Print from a tray with "one" click. No fiddling with styles
and printer settings. LO doesn't work like that. Softmaker Office fails,
too.

As I said. I can see the elegance of page/style/tray definitions. The
problem still is: You can have different trays when it comes to print. Even
if they are the same, you might want to switch them for a good reason. i.e a
copy on cheap paper instead of expensive one.

My idea: When there are different trays/paper sizes defined within a
document, ask the user to match the defined trays with the existing trays. 
Perhaps with user defined presets?

I like to try a pdf-server print with two queues, and let a script print the
pdf to the trays. Depending which queue is used. Perhaps that will do the
trick with LO 3.4.4.

Thank's for your ideas and the great work.
