Changing the settings to default print with CUPS still does not work, regardless of the application

Hello, I looked through a number of positions on the definition of default printer in a Mac, but nothing solve my specific problem. I recently spent a PC to a MacBook Pro, just updated to Mountain Lion and installed my printer wireless, HP Deskjet F4500 Series, with the pilot chosen by my computer. The printer-computer connection usually works, but when I go into the CUPS and change the default settings for Fast Draft, n/b only, it does not apply when I print. I tried several times, making sure to save my default settings in CUPS (and indeed they appear here as Fast project, b & w only), but no matter which application print from - Safari, Chrome, text edit, etc.. - it prints in color and normal mode unless I manually selects the settings for that particular print job. This is especially a problem when printing things that are not pop up a print dialog, such as online coupons. I could easily change the settings of the default printer on my laptop and they apply to coupon print as well, but I'm having no luck with the Mac. Help, please! Thank you!

Finally I got it solved!

There are two options in Mountain Lion when you add the printer HP CM1415fn (Apple-> preferences-> Print & Scan system): "AirPrint" and "HP LaserJet CM1410 Series.

So, with "AirPrint" set default CUPS Options has no effect, even if you change. PPD file.

Fortunately, with the 'HP LaserJet CM1410 series' setting CUPS the default Options works well!
