You can change the default settings whenever you want:
Either start KUPS and right-click on your printer. In the pop-up menu
click on "Configure Printer" and set up the desired options.
Or go into the web interface (http://localhost:631/) choose "Printers",
go to the entry of the desired printer and there click on "Configure
Printer". On the screen appearing then adjust the options. Not that you
must click on "Continue" in every group where you do a change.
Note: Numerical options are only supported by KUPS, XPP, and QTCUPS.
GNOME and KDE are not adapted to CUPS yet. The printer lists are taken
from the /etc/printcap file and we ship CUPS configured to generate an
/etc/printcap file for compatibility. Printouts are sent with the "lpr"
command which is provided by CUPS in system with CUPS installed. The
options in the KDE printing dialog are the ones which are also available
in the LPD printing system.
The situation of GNOME is similar.
Real CUPS support will be there in KDE 2.1.
