I think "use client driver" means something else.  Samba just needs to
be informed to submit the job as raw.  "cups options = raw"  "use client
driver" should almost never be used as it effectively disables allot of
SPOOLSS compatibility.  We run all out print servers with automatically
installing native drivers without "use client driver".

If you need to abuse a certain CIFS print queue in some special way just
disable CUPS (use LPRNG for instance) for that queue and thunk the job
back through.
