Two Drivers - 1 queue?

[Warning: Xenix newbie]

I have a small network with three Win machines, one Ubuntu machine and a VSFF (very small form factor) file/print server also running Ubuntu with SAMBA/CUPS.  There is one printer, Epson Stylus T10 on the server.

If I configure the printer as PostScript with the PIPS driver supplied by Epson it works fine for the linux boxes.  If I configure it as RAW and let the standard Epson Win drivers run it works fine for the Win machines.

Problem is "Can I do both at once"?

That is to say, can I have two different drivers into one spooler at the same time?

As I read the CUPS function outline, it appears to be possible but either I can't find the right keywords or the issue is not discussed anywhere in the on line literature.
