For printer options that is generally the case (it depends on the  
driver's PDE supporting this), but we don't remember page ranges,  
copies, etc.

For the CUPS driver, you mark the defaults in the PPD and then the  
options that are provided on the command-line, then check the marked  
PPD options.

For the PDE, you need to respond to all of the required methods shown  
in the sample code and update your UI based on the options that are set.
