IIRC you can do this with some API calls, but it is quiet difficult. Your best bet is to check out news2news and look in the printer section.

I need to be able to do this without the user needing to take any intervention to enable the new settings. I seem to remember doing this a while back but I can't find the code that I'd written to do this (and yes, I feel quite foolish about not being able to find my code). The main thing I need to be able to alter is the paper size for the current printer, but being able to adjust other things -- such as duplexing mode, copy count, etc. -- would be nice as well. If anyone can point me to this type of code, I'd greatly appreciate it!
