Do not mix up two different things:
- Set up a print queue which requires admin permissions.
- Store user-specific settings for an existing queue
  which does not require admin permissions.

See
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell
and
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Print_Settings_with_CUPS

Example:

root@host# lpadmin -p test -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -E \
 -P /usr/share/cups/model/Postscript.ppd.gz

user@host$ lpoptions -p test -l
PageSize: Letter *A4
Resolution: *300dpi 600dpi

user@host$ lpoptions -p test -o PageSize=Letter -o Resolution=600dpi

user@host$ lpoptions -p test -l
PageSize: *Letter A4
Resolution: 300dpi *600dpi

user@host$ cat ~/.cups/lpoptions 
Dest test PageSize=Letter Resolution=600dpi 


I assume there is also a tool in Gnome to store user specific
settings for an existing queue.


Kind Regards
