This isn't as off-topic as you think given that the same printing system 
is used (CUPS is used on Linux systems as well as OS X, though OS X's 
has extensions).

That said, it's Secret.  :-)

You must define a "Printing Profile" and then use that printing profile 
in the applicatino you want to print from once.  THen it will always 
reuse the same profile.  You can define those printing profiles  in the 
System Preferences application, and you can also define them using CUPS 
configuration files (though you probably don't want to do that).

I do not, however, have a list of directions handy at the moment.
