I think I've already mentioned this in anotehr post, but you need to do 
this on the "Advanced" tab to set the device mode on the server.
The "General" tab sets the per user devmode on the client.

You may need to install the driver on the server and click ok
on the properties page, and then reopen before the "Printing Preferences"
button shows up on the advanced tab.



cheers, jerry
