choosing resolution etc. per print job

[Wolfgang Jeltsch]

Hello,

some time ago, I used SuSE Linux 8.1 (KDE 3.0.?) and an EPSON Stylus Color 
400. I set up my printer using SuSE's YaST configuration tool. If I clicked 
on "Properties" in the KDE print dialog, I had the opportunity to select 
certain printer-specific properties, like resolution, in a tree view.

Now I use Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r1 with the KDE 3.1.2 packages from the KDE 
download site. My current printer is a EPSON Stylus C42UX. I configured it 
with the web frontend of CUPS. Alas, now there is no facility for configuring 
resolution and the like in the properties dialog.

What is the reason for the described configuration facility to 
appear/disappear?

Thank you in advance.
Wolfgang
