As you discovered yourself, the PPD informs CUPS about what your printer has or has not. You had to add the Tray2 and you decided to indicate it at default. Is it actually physically the default on the printer too? You have to go on the printer, visit its configuration menu to find out.

KDEPrinter prefers not to put default configurations explicit, this is why, once you selected Tray2 as default in CUPS, when you say to KDEPrint you want to print to Tray2, it simply overlooks the InputSlot parameter and sends to CUPS a command without such a parameter, since CUPS was already informed that Tray2 is the default, thus this is what CUPS should use.

Now, if CUPS also doesn't explicitely send an InputSlot parameter (and I believe it doesn't, if you choose the default tray), the printing command is sent to the printer without such a parameter too, thus the printer will try to print to its internally established default tray.

Hope this helps.
