OS: Fedora 9
Samba: 3.2.0-2.17.fc9
CUPS: 1.3.7-8.fc9
Printer: HP LaserJet P2015n
----------------------------
I setup a linux print server for windows clients.
First I downloaded the printer drivers for windows from HP website (both the Universal Printer Driver PCL6 and the PCL6 driver for P2105 series), and installed them on my windows client, it created a local printer on my windows client.
Then I installed the printer drivers to samba/linux via my windows client. and connected to the remote printer on samba/linux after remote printer driver is installed.
When I opened the "print preference dialog" of the windows local printer and the remote one on windows platform, I found that they are something different: The print preference dialog of remote printer on samba lost 2 tab sheets(Effect and Service tab) and some options, such as it has no "print shortcuts listitems" listed in the "print shortcuts listbox", and so i can't tweak the "pages per sheet/paper" parameter which belongs to a print shortcut.
see the screenshot:

Why they are different? How to make them same? Should I re-create the ntprinters.tdb database?
Does it caused by CUPS or Samba?
Thanks!
