Hello, I just installed a new printer. It has 4 trays. On my desktop PC (Suse 10.0) I can't find where I can set the default tray. Any help ? Not sure if that version has it, but the cups web interface http://localhost:631/printers has a "Set Printer Options" button, which does that IF the driver supports it. I also looked on my laptop (suse 10.3), and even there I can't find where to configure my printers. With configuring my printers I mean things like a default tray (some applications have no choice for trays), duplex printing, paper types. Same place. 10.3 is what I am running. I also moved an older printer to another location, and connected it to a printer-server device. On the server (suse 9.3) I needed to install the printer again, because you can't modify the connection to "network" with Yast. Doing that I think I lost the default tray for that printer and here again I can't change it. In Yast I tried to change the media source, but it keeps going back to tray 1 which I don't want. I also tried cups (localhost:631) with the same result.
Where does Suse keeps it's printer configurations ? /etc/cups/lpoptions, or each user can override it with ~/.lpoptions On my desktop PC I looked in /etc/cups but I don't see anything that looks like it. I looked in printers.conf, cupsd.conf, client.conf, ppd/*.ppd, interfaces is empty...
FWIW : old printer : HP LJ 4050 (parallel, networked via print-server device), new printer : HP LJ 4250 (networked). Helps to know what to look for.
