I found a workaround for a similar bug on my Ubuntu 10.04.4 desktop.

When sending a document to my default printer, I could not change ANY
settings in the print dialogue, including paper size, number of pages,
etc...  However, printing to a non-default printer opened up the dialog
choices to allow change.

My workaround was to create a third printer, which I called Qoppa
printer, with IDENTICAL settings that I cloned from my default printer.
My printer list now consists of Dell-3110cn (a laserjet), Epson
Workforce (an AIO inkjet), and Qoppa Printer (cloned laserjet settings).

Instead of printing to default Dell-3110cn, I print to Qoppa Printer; I
can change printer sizes, number of pages selected, etc... and it prints
out to the default laserjet printer.  VOILA!!!!

If it helps in troubleshooting, this workaround seems to suggest the bug
resides within the "default printer" settings and the java interaction
with the default printer.
