This certainly isn't the case here. We have about a dozen Lexmark 
printers, about half a dozen HP LJ2430s and LJ4250s and one Konica 
copier. All of them work fine, I can access all tabs on the driver 
settings (the HP ones are a little slow to come up but they do work). 
Are you using point-n-print or are you loading drivers onto each machine?
