Tim, unfortunately this is not correct.

We have a network printer with duplex unit, which has a default of printing on
both sides. However it is impossible to make a *user* default option for one of
our users, who by default wants everything printed single-sided.

Fortunately Pascal de Vuijst fixed this for Ubuntu, see

especially comment 38. I'll upload his patch here as well. I've tested a rebuilt
libgnomecups22 on Fedora Core 6, and this problem is fixed for gedit.
Unfortunately Evince still doesn't comply with these user defaults, and I'm not
sure why. I'm investigating this next.

Note also that libgnomecups is looking for user options in the wrong place --
but that's a separate bug that I'll file also.
