Can't set options. Here is the sequence: Cups fpr administrators Administration Printers epson Administration Set default options

Now what?
You can use either doug's password, or root's password.
I have the same password as boot and as my user. CUPS doesn't like that password, and I have no other.
Alternatively, use the command "lpoptions" in a terminal window.
lpoptions -l
will tell you the options for the current default printer.
First you have to find out what printers you have. For example:
cer@Telcontar:~> lpstat -a cp1510n_ps accepting requests since 2021-01-30T14:42:21 CET cp1515n_hpijs accepting requests since 2020-10-23T22:15:18 CEST cp1515n_pcl3 accepting requests since 2020-09-29T00:00:55 CEST cer@Telcontar:~>
and which is the default one?
Apparently there is no default. When I ask a page (or pages) to print, I get a dialog asking which printer.
The printers do not come up with names in the sequences you show, and I
had no luck changing the defaults
for the Epson, altho the information that is provided shows what's
wrong. here's the sequence at my place:
doug@linux1:~> lpstat -a
