Those settings are *very* printer-specific, and more to be set in driver
options from the print dialog. Here I'm talking about some generic settings
that could be applied to any printer: input slot, paper type, resolution
and Epson specific are not. If you have a good PPD file that supports all
these, then you will be able to select these either in the printer manager
when configuring your printer, or from the print dialog when printing.
But I don't think they should appear in a generic config dialog: they
would be senseless in most cases.

Michael.
