They get sent in the browse packets, so clients will pickup the
defaults (they show up in the name-default attributes returned by
a Get-Printer-Attributes request)...

They won't show up there - they are applied when the job is received
by cupsd.  If the job request does not contain an attribute that has
a default value, then an attribute is added with the default value.
