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?
Yes - see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Print_Settings_with_CUPS
That did it. Short answer: each user needs to run:
lpoptions -d newDefaultQueue
Perhaps an lpoptions section is needed in the KDE's Personal Settings. Perhaps GNOME already configures this?
Or do it by using the web based print management system and change the "system" default.
Nope. That is exactly what does not work. Every user (at least on my system) has a $HOME/.cups/loptions file where his/her view of the printers is. This overrides the system settings. Changing the system-wide default has no effect here. I guess if the user deletes the file they get a new one with the system defaults. But then all their other settings are lost. Read the link provided above.
