Thanks for confirming that 'the options from the PPD file are "not" 
intentionally not listed in the printing dialog, the usability team of GNOME 
was "not" against listing these options. They "do not" clutter the dialog and 
can be more confusing than useful to the user.'

Because as is, without theese ppd options, it "realy is" very confusing and 
unuseful for the user to need at least 3 printqueues of the same printer for 
the printer to work properly:
