* Default paper tray
  (for laser printers, with 2+ paper trays)
I have used printer with 5 paper trays, so it really matters.
* printing quality (dpi: 360/720/1440/2880, for Epson Stylus printer; 
300/600/1200 dpi for modern lasers)
* Paper Type (normal/coated/photo paper/glossy paper/glossy film)
 -> matters for inkjets, not lasers
* optional for Epson InkJets - MicroWeave On/Off
I guess inkjets from other vendors have also some propierty stuff (for 
example, HP has "PhotoRET II" while not explaining what it is exactly)
GS has options for turning MicroWeaves On/Off

For people who are not familiar with Epson printers - it greatly improoves 
printing quality, option is applicable only for 720dpi and higher resolutions.

I have driver for Epson installed in my Windows 98, so if somebody needs can 
send compressed screenshots.
