The screen from Yast with some options impossible to set from Yast but set from Cups WEB interface

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.6; Linux) KHTML/4.6.0 (like Gecko) SUSE

When install a PostScript capable printer from Yast installation goes well and default options get installed.
Unfortunately it is not possible to set up options from Yasta. Let say if it is a big department machine with access code, department code or some special options it is impossible to set them. Yast shows the menu to choose different than default options but changes are not possible.
Same options could be set from the CUPS web interface.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install some HP LaserJet printer with different options available 
2. Try to change the options (let say try to apply access code)
3. You will found even interface for changing the options is avilable, you can not change any thing there. You can not set changes to optional functionality
Actual Results:  
After the PS driver installation it will be with the default adjustments. No any changes for the optional values are possible from the Yast interface.

Expected Results:  
Same drivers with openSuSE 11.3 and past works fine. Users can set from Yast the access codes, department access code, or set different options for the printer.

Yast must make possible to set the printer options. In big companies if you can not set departnment or access code you simply can not use the department printers and MFP.
