[Bug 1006865] [NEW] print dialog defaults duplex option to "none" for net printers

[Darko Veberic]

Public bug reported:

for every available printer okular's print dialog should either remember
the option setting for duplex, or alternatively set the default to
whatever is set as cups default (as seen in the printer properties |
advanced tab). now the duplex setting is always "none" and forgetting to
change it each time makes us waste large amounts of paper...

additional info: this happens for okular run in gnome-shell with remote
cups server (ie local cups server not running, /etc/cups/client.conf set
to point to the remote server), and all printers are network printers...

this is a really longstanding bug, forcing us to use acroread for
printing although okular is faster and friendlier for browsing and
viewing.
