[Samba] Duplex printer + samba + cups

[Fabiano Caixeta Duarte]

Gentleman,

In one of my slackware servers I put samba acting as a printer server 
connected to a Hewlett-Packard 2420D (D stands for duplex).

In CUPS I'm using the 'raw' driver. So I let the clients to perform the 
driver stuff.

On samba, I followed the procedures described on 
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#inst-rpc
to make possible windows clients to get the files needed to achieve driver 
installation.

I took those files from an WinXP installation through rpcclient+smbclient.

As expected, clients can get the drivers and print. The main thing is 
working.

THE PROBLEM is: If the client is connected to the "WinXP Printer Server", 
the printer properties shows some advanced options which includes the 
ability to choose duplex printing. If it's connected to the samba server, 
none of those options even appear.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
