It seems to me that Print Pages and Copies should not be persisted;
the default should be to print the whole document once. The other
settings should be persisted, but it doesn't seem to make sense to
persist them per document.

Certainly if you really want to persist the pages and copies settings,
they should be per document.

How does that sound?
