  Since we lease the printers I have spoken to both the engineers and the 
  training department as I was
  hoping they could be set that way but these printers needs to be told to 
  use the bypass - it doesn't
  select it automatically ( like small HP printers which  if you put 
  something in the bypass it will take it
  from there preferentially. )
  
  The paper types don't just refer to the tray to take the paper from. 
  They also tell the printer how fast
  to feed the paper through the machine. For example thick3 is used for 
  t-shirt printing paper and that
  has to go through really slowly otherwise the toner doesn't stick.
  
  We have a really nasty work around for the t-shirt paper. That is, we 
  put it in tray 3 and set that tray to
  thick1 ( which LO does show ) which slows the paper a bit. Then we also 
  select 1200 dpi instead of
  the normal 600 which slows it even more and it works. However this does 
  use up a tray and you can
  also only get away which doing 2 or 3 pages then you have to put a blank 
  sheet through from a normal
  tray to clean the rollers.
  
  best wishes
