How can I use advanced printing options from Windows drivers in a RHEL print server?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Cups with shared printers and Windows drivers distributed via Samba does not allow users to manipulate advanced printing options from the drivers. Users map the shared printers and when click in the printer the driver is automatically installed from Samba. But only basic driver options are available.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 all releases

  • Cups

  • Samba

  • Windows clients all versions
