You can write a script wich execute mupdf and send the the route of the directory containing the pdf to a file in /tmp with the $pid of mupdf in the name. Then you can use your wm's key bindings (or use xbindkeys) to excecute a program (or a shell script, or a Tcl/Tk script, or a zenity script with gtk crap or whatever) to ask for printing options. You can get the pid and the file name from the title of the focused windows with the help of xdotool, and the directory route from the temp file. Well, it's an idea, and you can extended to other programs. Or you can edit the source code and send a patch to the developers. Good luck. trebol.
