case this case, I think the best solution is to continue to use the "MS 
Publisher Imagesetter" printer driver. It generates PS output which CUPS 
is supporting. The driver is "plain" with no options to set duplex etc 
which is what I wanted to achieve.

I wonder how Windows is handling IPP Everywhere (driverless) printers in 
general though? Does Windows have some method to detect options and 
toner/ink levels from IPP Everywhere printers without a native driver?
