I'd check to make sure you have the most recent printer driver that supports
multiple trays. Otherwise Windows knows nothing about the printer. All such
info comes from the printer drive. You may have to delete your current
printer from within Windows and then install the new driver even though you
know full well that you're using the same printer.

I'm not sure specifically what you're changing in Tools > Options > Print -
but that's not where I'd go about changing print trays for a document or
template.
Go to File > Page Setup > Paper, which is where I'd look to set the paper
requirements for the document. IIRC 2000 was the same.
However, my printer at home only has a default tray and a manual feeder,
both of which I can see on this window. I'll check later against a
multi-tray printer.
