There is actually. You can store default initialization data for each printer driver and then a printer will get this information assigned when it is bound to the driver.
What you do is to set a printer bound to the driver in quetion to be like you want it and the send a SetPrinterData() call to set the registry value named "_p_f_a_n_t_0_m_" (type REG_BINARY) to some arbitrary value. The value doesn't really matter. This tells smbd to save a snapshot of that printer's data as the default initialization data for that driver.
Then when you bind a new printer to the same driver, it will be assigned that get that initialization data.
Hope this helps.
Jerry, can you cut & paste what you just said into Samba-HOWTO-Collection? :o)
