I'm the one that pasted the BASIC-macro, so I should add that the pasted macro worked in openoffice perfectly (print page 1 to tray2 and consequent pages to tray1), but since I made the switch to libreoffice v3.3 and later 3.4, the problem surfaced.

I added this information because it rules out the possibility that it is a GUI-problem. The cause is to be sought underneath.

I have tried it just now (in v3.4.4) and both CALC and DRAW are also not able to print to tray2 when selected in the CTRL+P print-dialog > properties of printer.

@change from 'blocker' to 'critical':
I'm not happy with this change, because it costs me money: letterhead-paper doesn't come cheap and for every printed page of a letter consisting of more than 1 page, I have to throw away a letterhead-page that is not printed correctly.

I agree that only affects printers with more than one tray, and thus rules out most consumers and even a lot of (small) businesses.
