Have you tried recoding with ScriptingListener.plugin?

If that does not provide the relevant code then I suspect the issue would have to be addressed on the OS side.

i don't really understand what does this plugin...

I see the Extend Script Toolkit to make javascript action...but i would like to know if the action could set even the proprietary settings of the printer.

Install the Plug-in then open Photoshop do a print from Photoshop setting all the Photoshop and Printer setting using the controls in the Photoshop Print dialog. See what the Scriptlistener Plug-in records in your system configuration. It may record only the Photoshop settings it may also set printer driver setting. I don't know. Even on I my system I do not know what the long string of recorded numbers are. They may be for the device in my environment my printer is on the network. Here is what I see recorded. A Script could change some settings however I would not know how to change the string of numbers recorded.
