Q: Shared printer won't staple

I have an HP Laserjet p4015dn printer.  It is connected by USB to a laptop running 10.4 which is sharing the printer on the network. The printer has a stapling attachment, and it works perfectly when printing from the laptop itself - when I choose the option, pages get stapled. From my 10.8 system, when I print to this shared printer, all the other options work but the pages just don't get stapled - it's as if it ignores that one setting. Anything I can do, on either of the computers or the printer itself, to make it staple by default, or at least allow me to use the stapling option?
