CUPS : Global Printer Instances


Is there anyway to configure CUPS so that the printer instances you define are avalable to all users on all machines rather than all users on current machine?

I.e. KPRINTER is setup to use a remote server in the system settings

Then when selecting the printer on the server (in XPP, Kprinter) you get

laserjet
+Landscape
+2_Page_Sheet
+Duplex
laserjetColour

However on the remote clients you get

laserjet
laserjetColour

I don't want to have to set these :

"+Landscape
+2_Page_Sheet
+Duplex"

up on every machine on the network

(We have more printers than this and i want to do something simaler with each one)

Any chance that MacOSX would pick these up?
