[Samba] (Trying) to understand Print properties saving

[Mark DM]

I have a similar issue with Ubuntu 12.04 based system , not sure of
Samba version but it keeps changing default paper to Postscript custom
which seems almost square. I change it in windows and apply and it
always reverts to postscript custom again
