Hi,
I might have an idea: Can you have a look in the printer mangement of
your print server from the Windows side?
In the driver section there should be a column "package". I presume the
Kyocera driver has there a "true" present and all other printer drivers
a "false"?
Then this should help you:

I have another link, too, but it is in German:
