I am using KDE on linux mint 12 (not the KDE RC). It is the 64bit version.
The printer defaults are set for text on plain paper - this is what it shows in CUPS and in KDE System Settings.
Everytime I print from a program (Firefox, Thunderbird, Libreoffice) it wants to print in Best Photo quality on Photo paper, unless I change the settings. If I do change them, it does not remember the change for the next print run, whether I restart the program or not.
How do I get the programs to use the default settings automatically?
Stephen.

UPDATE
If I change the printer settingsd in Okular, they will stick when I go to Libreoffice or Firefox, but if I change the settings in Libreoffice, they do not stick at all (though they work for that print run).
Nevertheless, none of the programs are picking up the defaults from CUPS.

Re: Printing not using default settings
I have a similar problem with a Kyocera FS-1020D in Mint 9 LTS Isadora. Sometime in the past (don't remember from what program) I set the printer to duplex printing and now I get it as standard option all the time when I print (unless I change it expressly for every printing job in the "page setup" options), although in Control center > Printing > KyoceraLaser > Printer Options I read "Duplexing: None", which I assume to be the CUPS default.
Any idea how I could revert to simplex printing as default for print jobs ?

Re: Printing not using default settings
I faced the similar problem, running LM12x64 KDE here. Can't change the settings from Portrait to Landscape in Okular. In fact I was having some other issues as well. Finally I updated to KDE 4.8 with ubuntu backport and now most of the issues are gone- including this printing issue.
Re: Printing not using default settings
NOT fixed. Mint 14 kde WILL NOT print duplex at all.
