What subsystem and on what OS are you running Samba?  I'd bet that 
it's not an issue with Samba, per se, but an issue with the underlying
printing system.  If you're using CUPS, check to see if CUPS sees all
the options.

Also, if you are using CUPS, you can probably just use the PPD that's on the
Windows machines.

If you're not using CUPS, you should be using CUPS.  :)

One more if:  If you find that your underlying printing system (be it CUPS
or whatever) does not see all the options, you need to fix that first,
before
you can ask for more help here.  Contact your friendly neighborhood print
system mailing list.
