How do I select which tray I would like to print from on my company printer?

Question

I am using a Mac and attempting to print a file from illustrator to the bypass tray of our company printer.  I am personally trying to print labels and I don't want to risk putting the labels in the main tray and have someone else print their document before I can push print on mine. I have done the due diligence of searching the internet for this issue but with no helpful results found just yet. Any advice?

No, Preview renders and prints just fine for me.  And Preview doesn't have any problem printing to the Manual Feed tray.
I do own Acrobat via CC and can install the full version for no additional cost.  However, in my opinion, Acrobat is so horribly bloated that I won't install it even though it's free (and again, I'm generally an Adobe fan).
I do appreciate your suggestions, but the real issue here is that Illustrator should really have a functioning tray selection option.  I'm guessing that Adobe would argue that it's a printer-driver issue, but again, literally every other graphics application on OSX can print to the Manual Feed tray seamlessly, except for Adobe products.  Even Photoshop lets you actually select Manual Feed instead of Tray 1, however, the printer will still print from Tray 1 instead of the MF tray regardless of what I set.  Again, no other application exhibits this odd/errant behavior, so it's got to be something messed up with the way Adobe is doing it.
Thanks for the feedback though, I appreciate it.
