It seems the problem is not to "always default to lowest setting" but to remember the Print Settings in File\Print... after the last printed file.
I still do think it's a bug, because Evince should, by default, print any file with the default specified resolution in System\ Administration\ Printing. My argument is that most often, you want your printouts to look the best they can (or the way you intended them to look by default by configuring your printer accordingly in cups). If you need something special, like to print in low resolution (draft), then you should need to set it in evince print dialog every time.
The way it is now you always need to go into the various Evince's print settings just to be sure that some option isn't still active (say, 300 DPI instead of 600 DPI). This mostly annoying, specifically when you've just print 50 pages and notice it was stuck on a bad setting.
On a side note, why was this bug moved to CUPS? I was under the impression that it was Evince specific. For example, Acrobat Reader 9 always set the print resolution to my default 600 DPI, whether or not I changed it to 300 DPI in Reader's print settings the last time I used it.
