If there are no more options for the printer, maybe it's by design. Not 
all printers allow the same settings :-?

Does the windows driver provide addional settings than the linux one?

I think it won't work. You need to be able to define this:

***
Text Neutral Grays: 4 colour / [x] black only
Graphics Neutral Grays: 4 colour / [x] black only		
Photographs Neutral Grays: [x] 4 colour / black only	
***

And those options are not available for your printer, neither using the 
old PPD nor the lastest :-(
