Well, under Windows, the printer-specific properties dialog is usually
part of
the driver, hence developped by the printer manufacturer, using a UI
that is
really made for the printer: having experienced the use a the same
high-end
printer under Linux and Windows, the specific UI under Windows is much
more
user-friendly than a bare tree list with dozens of options (from a user
point-of-view,
"y'a pas photo" :-).
