I don't know what OS is being used here, but if Linux, then CUPS allows 
a default printer to be selected.  When selected in CUPS, this printer 
should be the default printer that is highlighted in the LO print 
dialog.  Optionally, printer and printer settings can be changed on a 
per-document basis by using the File -> Printer Settings option in LO.  
Once that is set and the document saved, all subsequent loading of that 
document should have the same printer settings as when last saved.  Oh, 
one must also select Tools -> Options -> Load Save -> General and select 
"Load printer settings with the document" to enable this behavior.  One 
downside of this is if the document is sent to someone else, it will 
still try to print on the now-nonexistent printer, or the wrong printer 
if still on the same LAN.  In that case, the settings could be changed 
or use Ctrl-P to bring up the print dialog and change the 
printer/settings.  I use this feature for printing envelopes repeatedly, 
which require different printer settings than documents.  Works for me.

If the save icon is grayed out when you try to save the document printer 
settings, just add and delete something anywhere in the document and it 
should be enabled again.
Hope this helps.
