>Are you saying that a typical postscript file when sent to print, say from ghost view, to postscript drivers has the option to open properties and access all the features of those drivers?

In this case you aren't really using the driver. Drivers aren't
transformers of existing PostScript files, they are creators of new
ones.

The driver is used in this case only as a conduit, a way through the
printer. So you can expect most options to have no effect. This is not
a limitation of the driver, but of your workflow: the time to set
these options is when the PostScript is made. (Normally, of course,
this is the same time as you print).
