See the smb.conf man page (you need a rather recent Samba, though!).
You can use

  cups options = "lpi=6.33 cpi=11.4 otheroption=foobar"

or some such (since release 3.0.2a). Use blanks as option separators
in smb.conf -- the man page is wrong about the comma-separated example!

You can also try to work with the "Option" keyword in the printers.conf
that sets the default options for a given printer:

  Option cpi 11.4
  Option lpi 6.33
  Option otheroption foobar

Stop CUPS, edit the printers.conf and restart CUPS again.
