Print properties not available as user

All,
I have a Samba 2.2.1a on Linux domain controller for a domain with about
30 printers. Some of these printers are HP 8100 printers with
"mailboxes", or multiple output trays, attached. When a user is a
member of the domain, they are not able to change the printer options as
they are greyed out. Meaning, they cannot choose which mailbox to print
to. I gave a test user the "manage document" right which prevented
printer from installing. The user can change properties if he has full
control of the printer. I would rather not give the users
administrative rights. Is there a setting I can change to allow them to
control some of the local properties? Here is the printers section of
my smb.conf:
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
create mask = 0700
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using client side
printer drivers.
lpq command = lpstat -o %p
lprm command = cancel %p-%j
browseable = No
I can provide other sections if necessary.
Suggestions? Directions on where to look if this is not a Samba problem?
Thanks.
