Default Printing over SMB: changing printer-settings

Trying to print PDF-files out of a Java-client to a printer (installed on
Windows XP Professional) using the SMB-protocol. Works fine as long as the
printer is capable of reading PDF and as long as I use the default paper-tray.

Now my questions a can SMB influence printer-settings (like the paper
tray)? Or is it just possible to transfer a file A to a printer-share B?
Might I need to access the drivers in order to achieve these settings, so
that I can send over SMB in a printer-specific format rather than in pure
PDF?

Thanks,
Michael Nastvogel
