[Samba] Default settings for print drivers

Hi. I've finally got Samba to serve up print drivers for the printers I serve. 
However, I'm not able to set the default driver options.

This is what I'm doing (from a Win2k Pro box)

Start->Run
\\(samba server)
open Printers folder
right click printer, Properties
Device Settings tab
Configure e.g. default paper size
Click OK
Reopen Properties->Device Settings, and the old paper size is still selected.

Some settings seem to work, but I haven't been able to get the paper size 
settings to work. This is a problem because we have some printers which only 
have legal paper, and they require manual intervention if they get a job for 
some other size paper.

Any suggestions?
