Can't you just create a printer with the trays selected and the other 
trays listed as not installed and then give the users permission 
through domain group membership.  Then create another printer with a 
different set of specs and a different group permission scheme but 
pointing to the same printer.  NOTE: create a printer in the MS 
sense... i.e. a spool.

I think the advanced options can be changed on each one.... but you may 
run into a problem with limiting certain trays (built-in ones).  It 
might be easier to do this on 2000 but I don't remember.
