No it has only three "Resolution" settings, one of which is the default.
If you select to "Configure Printer" in the web interface, you may be
able to change it to a different default resolution. The default resolution
is used by the printer's PS interpreter (which may be CUPS if it is a non
PS printer) to apply if the application-generated PS doesn't include another
resolution directive....

Similar goes for other user-selectable options: various settings possible,
one of which is the default.
