There's no way to stop OOo doing this currently. I agree that there should be one. I'm working on a related problem: if people are working in a global WAN and they move from e.g. US to Europe they face huge delays each time OOo tries to access the printer last used for the document if it is a network printer on the other continent.
In most cases storing printer information is only a convenience feature (that obviously becomes an inconvenient one in certain cases). In some cases it comes in handy to do it, e.g. if you have documents in special formats that can be printed only on certain printers. We have to find out if there are other ways to handle this. As users don't want to play with options I think that a new feature that allows to switch off storing printer options makes the most sense if it can be the default setting. Before we can add this we must thoroughly investigate in which cases this can create problems so that we must either help or warn the users. In the worst case we must automatically switch on storing printer information for this document though I don't like magic functionality. If you want you can create an issue and assign it to me (mba).
