It sends down the PPD with all that information, and the user can change it on a per print-job basis. What the CUPS driver for Windows with the CUPS-Samba integration does for you is _match_verbatim_ the PPD configuration between the CUPS server and _all_ Windows clients. That's golden! It also means that _you_ not only set the defaults, but the printer's _absolute_ configuration, at the at the CUPS server. Not even a local workstation administrator can change them. It prevents some "curious power user" from going in and changing the printer configuration incorrectly, which then causes a printer to sit there and say "insert paper into" whatever tray it physically does _not_ have, especially when it just defaults to the multi-purpose feeder. You can setup all the trays, types, etc... at the CUPS server, even designating administrators for that printer, etc... No more dorking around with things at the Windows client. -- Bryan J.
