Desmond, I have had similar problems in setting the exact information. I 
found editing the /etc/cups/printers.conf file, rather than using the 
GUI interfaces, best for awkward printers. A couple of other, unrelated 
points; if the printer is Postscript then I have found using generic 
postscript settings more convenient that the specific ones for a printer 
and setting the printer to keep trying on failure, rather than the 
default of stopping the queue. (Otherwise, when the paper ran out the 
queue stopped.)  Brendan
