setpagedevice (postscript)

Basically, I'd like to apply a printer tray selection on postscript files by means of a (Bash) shell script.

What works on a Xerox DocuColor 5000, is this (exemplified for one tray):

Code:
sed "s/BeginPageSetup/&\n<<\/MediaColor (red)>> setpagedevice/" -i page.ps

Every attempt to do so on a Xerox DocuPrint 180, though, fails miserably Smilie

What worked on the latter printer but refuses to do so for my postscript files:

Code:
sed "s/BeginPageSetup/&\n<<\/MediaType (red) \/MediaColor (red)>> setpagedevice/" -i page.ps

Any one any idea Smilie I'm as stuck as can be ...

NAME
system-config-printer-applet - print job manager SYNOPSIS
system-config-printer-applet [--help] [--version] [--debug] DESCRIPTION
system-config-printer-applet is a print job manager for CUPS. Normally it will display a printer icon in the notification area, greyed out when there are no print jobs for the current user. Clicking on the icon displays a simple print job manager for cancelling or reprinting jobs. To save memory, the applet waits first of all until the user has printed a job before putting the icon in the notification area. To invoke the print job manager before a job has been printed, run the applet with the --no-tray-icon option: a desktop file is provided for this, so that it should appear in the system menu. As well as displaying a printer icon in the notification area, the applet also provides a D-BUS server for the com.redhat.PrintDriverSelection interface, to help configure a new printer when it is plugged in. OPTIONS
--help Display a short usage message. --version Display the version of the applet. --debug Show debugging information. AUTHOR
