Create a job in word, and select the manual feed tray. Then use the print to
file option to save the PS file.

Open the PS file in an editor, and see what commands are in the postscript
to specify the manual feed tray. It may be the setpagedevice operator.in the
actual ps code, or something in the preamble.
