A long time ago, under lp printing, you could set up different logical 
printers that all pointed to the same physical printer, but with 
different options set for each one.  I presume you can do the same under 
CUPS, but haven't tried.  Linux has no problem printing to the printers 
on the Windows boxes with Samba, but it was such a hassle to go the 
other way that I no longer have any local printers on the Linux box.
