Solving this using a preference option feels "twisted" somehow...

How about a lyx-function that prints without opening a dialog? In e.g.
windoze, C-p often prints directly, whereas File->Print opens a dialog.
The lfun in 1.3.3 is 'buffer-print', and a new lfun could be called 
'buffer-print-now', or the first one could take an argument to make it 
print without the dialog.

I take it that when you press C-p, you first get LyX's dialog, and then 
when you've pressed Ok in that, you then get the dialog from kprinter?
