It's certainly possible to save the margin options by application.

However, the current KDEPrint framework does not provide for this. KDEPrint primarily works on top of CUPS (as a GUI frontend of CUPS), and CUPS knows only to store margins *per printer*, not per application.

Also, I'm not sure if it is the right place to implement this in KDEPrint. On first thought, it should rather be the applications that store these values, and when they call the print dialog, initialize that dialog with their saved margin values. [BTW, if you are *not* using custom margins, KDE applications like KWord and Konqueror will be set to 24 points (=0.847 cm) for top and bottom, and 36 points (= 1.27 cm) for left and right margins.]

You should also file a wishlist item to the developers of the respective applications.

Hmmm... maybe we can come up with a way to do it in a consistent and unified way across applications.
