Re: [SLE] Setting seperate default printer for each user

Is there a way of setting the default printer on a per user basis?

Better than aliasing "lp" to "lp -d $PRINTER" ?

If you are using KDE, open the print manager, click on the printer you want as your default. Click on the "Instances" tab, then click the "set as default" button. If you are not using KDE, use the equivalent print manager in whatever desktop you do use. You can also use the commandline lpoptions util (man lpoptions). I suspect the desktop print managers are probably all just frontends for lpoptions. All your user print options are maintained in ~/.lpoptions
