Sorry if this is already discussed. I did not find anything in the archives.
I want to change the default printer queue on an 11.2 system. So, as I have always done, as root I ran lpadmin -d newQueue. For root, lpstat -a tells the proper thing. The odd thing is that all other users still have the old printer as the default. Implying that the default printer is per-user. I can buy that. Is that the case?
So, root's lpstat, yast and the cups web server all claim that newQueue is the default. But a non-root user gets the old one. Is there some place where each user can set this up in kde? I searched for 'print' in KDE's configuration, and got no matches.
Can someone kick me into the 21st century?
Hello Roger I had the same problem after changing my old dead printer for a new old one. The only way I found was to delete the old queue; then the new one becomes the default. If you still want to use your old printer, I suppose that if you reinstall it, the new printer will remain the default and the old one will appear as second choice in KDE's print dialog boxes. There may be a more clever solution but I do not knox it.
