[Samba] Can cups + samba act like an ordinary windows spooler?

Hi people, Im currently using samba 3.0.14 on a debian stable with a cups.
Im able to export my cups printers to samba and set the drivers, the
cups drivers.
The problem im facing is that when I go to the "printers" share thru a
windows client, when I double click on a printer the printer just gets
mapped, with no posibility to add any privilegies to the printer on the
windows client, only in the server side.
Is there anyway that the samba+cups acts like anyother windows printer
server that lets the client set the security on the local machine?

Here is my config, sorry for my english, i never study.
