Greeting  group.

I have some difficulties using the CUPS print driver for Windows 6.  I
push the printer driver to windows workstation (cupsaddsmb) and I'm able
to print fine.  The problem is when a user tries to print something that
doesn't have the same page layout.  For example, a word document in
landscape will print in portrait and will be cut to fit in the width of
the page.  If the user put his document in landscape and specify
landscape into the printer driver setting, it gets printed fine.

One must admit that usual Windows users (teachers in this specific case)
are not tolerent to that kind of manipulation and gets angry quit fast.
 For now I'm ok, being the only one with the key of the server room, I
can lock myself in.

Is there a way that the page layout of a document to be passed directly
to the printer driver so it gets print correclty?

Just in case, I'm using pykota.  The problem exist with different
printer model (laserjet 4050, 2100, optra S1255, optra 720C)
