[STR New]

I have a postscript printer configured in CUPS with the manufacturer
original PPD. Printing from a Linux client work fine. But I've used
cupsaddsmb to setup the CUPS Windows Driver in a samba server and when I
print throught samba all options are ignored (e.g. duplex).

After some test, I think:

 - This isn't the bug #1750, because the release 1.2.2 has the same
problem.
 - The problem is how pstops works. pstops preserve all BeginFeature from
the original document but inserts some default options (taken from the PPD
in /etc/cups/ppd) at the document beginning. Therefore the printer use
that options, ignoring the options set by the driver.
