Problem:
When printing to a hp8000, hp8100, and hp8150 I could not
get postscript to print to ledger sized paper.
We have letter in tray2 and ledger/11x17 in tray3.
The commands:
lpr -Zledger /tmp/ps_file
always came out on letter from tray2.
My fix:
Modify ifhp.conf in the [ hp8000 hp8100 hp8150 ] section.
Either change the ps_tabloid entry to ps_ledger,
or duplicate the ps_tabloid entry calling it ps_ledger.

I can now specify -Zledger and -Z11x17 and get the
expected output.
Please let me know if this is attacking the problem
from the wrong angle, and/or if this was just operator error.
The problem was seen on ifhp-3.5.3 and several previous version.
The problem was seen and the fix verified on:
Linux 2.2-17
HP-UX 10.20
HP-UX 11.00
