This isn't exposed in the object model, as far as I know. Probably because the
required information is printer-dependent (depending on how the current
printer driver "describes" the trays) and usually written to the Registry
(under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word).

If you do some testing by changing the settings in the dialog box, then
checking what's written to the Registry, you could probably get the control
you're looking for by changing the Registry setting. However, if those using
your application may have various printers and you can't know ahead of time
which ones, this may not be feasible.
