A client had to physically move a printer. Presumably that means
disconnecting from power and the network.
Then they plugged it in in the new location on same network.

Now the source drawer being used changed from 1 to 3 (8.8x11 paper to
13x17). Also, the Formfeed changed from *DEVD to *CONT (Continuous).

What would do this?

Maybe the printer's internal settings (set via the front panel) got erased at power off, and when it powered on again, IBM i autoconfigured it according to the 'new' printer settings.
