IMHO there is a usability problem here. The printing dialog includes two settings, the Cups printing settings in Properties->Advanced, and the Qt Printing options in Options. The Qt Printing Options override the Cups options in any case, which is very confusing.

To fix this, in the GUI, both option menus should be in sync to prevent "surprising" outcomes. That means, that on startup the Qt Printing Options should reflect the Cups printing settings (if duplex is the default in cups, it should be the default in Qt). If I change a setting in the advanced cups dialog, Qt should reflect that immediately. If I change a setting in Qt, the advanced dialog should also show that (but not necessarily change the default setting in cups without asking the user first).
