From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: When changing the default printer through redhat-config-printer (-gui or -tui), the default printer in GNOME Print Manager does not change. This leads to erratic printer selection in various applications. Restarting CUPS service does not help. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-printer-0.6.47.9-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open GNOME Print Manager, note default printer 2. Close GPM, change default printer via redhat-config-printer (-gui or -tui) 3. Close redhat-config-printer, saving if applicable 4. Re-open GPM, and note default printer Actual Results: Default printer in GNOME Print Manager remained the same Expected Results: GNOME Print Manager should reflect the changed default printer that was selected in redhat-config-printer Additional info:
redhat-config-printer changes the *system* default printer, i.e. the default which is used in absence of the *user* default printer -- which is what gnome-print-manager adjusts. Same as with 'lpoptions -d ...'.
