I'm pretty sure that the right way to save the options is in cups, so that all
applications, including non-qt applications, save these settings.

I think it's a matter of taking the patch I uploaded above, and modifying it to
also save modified settings to the users' lpoptions file with Cups. Indeed Qt,
already reads this file when the user clicks on printer properties - just use a
command like
lpoptions -p deskjet -o media=Legal

It really needs to be done in Qt, unless KDE wants to have its own printer
dialog (which wouldn't be hard, just inconvenient).

It would be easy to make a Cups printer dialog for KDE. Perhaps it could be
nicer than the default one. However, it wouldn't work under Windows. It would
also make KDE rely on cups, unless you revert to the old one if it wasn't
there.
