Description Brian G. Anderson 2004-05-12 01:14:52 UTC
Description of problem:
The default print string in gimp's print dialog is outdated.  I have
two printers one a default laser printer and the other a color inkjet.
The setup string for the inkjet is as follows:

lp -s -depson -oraw

It appears that the '-d' flag is no longer supported in cups and is
ignored.  As a result the output will be directed to the default
printer with disasterous results since the default laser printer
doesn't understand the inkjet print language and print gibberish.

The form I used which worked was

lp -s -P epson -oraw


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gimp-2.0.1-3

How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a computer with two printers
2. Invoke gimp for the first time
3. Try and print to the non-default printer
  
Actual results:
printing on default printer

Expected results:
printing on the printer I actually selected

I just tried it and both lp -d <printername> as well as selecting
another (non default) printer from the gimp print dialog worked for me.

Relevant versions are:

gimp-2.0.1-3
cups-1.1.20-6
gimp-print-4.2.6-11
