A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Mustang has added a new command to postscript output that causes a behavior change on a Lexmark T632 printer.

It appears that the Mustang beta has added the following command to the postscript stream while setting paper size:

/DeferredMediaSelection true

This command (at least on the T632) seems to cause the printer to only want to print from Tray 1.  If (for example) Letter paper is in Tray 1 and a Letter-size page is sent to the printer, it will print with no user intervention.  If, however, Letter paper is in Tray 1 and a LEGAL size page is sent to the printer, it will beep and request Legal paper be loaded in Tray 1 even if Legal paper is already in Tray 2.  Without the DeferredMediaSelection command the printer will auto-detect the paper in each tray and select the correct tray based on the page size within the print job.

I do not know enough about postscript to say if "DeferredMediaSelection" is being used improperly, however it seems to cause problems for this printer.



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Send a print job to a Lexmark T632 printer using the paper size in Tray 2.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Printer should choose the tray according to the paper size sent in the postscript file.
ACTUAL -
Printer beeps and requests manual intervention to load the correct paper size into Tray 1.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
