To make them system-wide, get root and set them with printerdrake or the
"Configure Printer" when right-clicking on printer in the KDE Print
Manager. Then they get defaults in /etc/cups/ppd/<queue>.ppd and only
printer-specific options defined in the PPD file can be set. Using xpp,
kprinter, or lpoptions as root gives you the possibilty to set
system-wide defaults for all CUPS-specific options. They get saved in
/etc/cups/lpoptions. Don't forget to click on "Save options..." in xpp
or kprinter. Using xpp, kprinter, or lpoptions as normal user sets
personal defaults.
