Upps, I didn't even know that one can use the registry editor remote ...

I looked at all registry entries. I know, that some HP Printers need an 
entry "PrinterData\CombinedMediaStatus" to work properly. Similar things 
with other drivers.

So I copy the whole registry from a local printer to the remote printer 
- and if that helps, the rest is just try and error.

On my system, I can change the Job Type. So I really do not know, why it 
doesn't work for you. Perhaps you just need to delete the printer 
connection and create a new one.

Greets,

Martin
