Hi,

you can use lp options such as:

lp -oA3 ...

To select tray use:

lp -otray#
where # can be 1 to 4

Hi there.
What you could do :
create a file, that contains the escape sequences for A3 printing.
Copy this to a temp file. Attach the text to be printed behind the escape sequence and print it.
With this file containing escape sequences you can use compressed printing and so on, if you create the appropriate files.
Samples attached.

/e&l26a is size A4 . Check your printer manual for A3 size escape sequence.
