You don't need this for all your printers. Most printer drivers can handle the NULL devicemode. Mostly the HP ink printers need a devicemode to function. I'm no admin nor windows developer. But try to google "windows command line printer control". You'll find info about the rundll32 PrintUI commands. Perhaps you can use them for your purpose (e.g. Create local printer with driver, store settings in file, copy settings to your samba server). This should also create your missing device mode.
