From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20061011 Fedora/1.5.0.7-7.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.7 Description of problem: When I set a default printer using gnome-default-printer, the printer seems to be set as default but when lauching gnome-default-printer again, the default printer is not selected. I get this behaviour when I am logged on as simple user not as root. Using strace, I see we store informations in ~/.cups/lpoptions when I am logged on as simple user. And the informations are stored in /etc/cups/lpotions when I am logged on as root. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): desktop-printing-0.19-21 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.log on as simple user 2.launch gnome-default-printer 3.select a printer to set as default 4.launch gnome-default-printer again Actual Results: the default printer hasn't changed Expected Results: the default printer selected must be the one I have previously selected Additional info:
The default printer has actually changed for that user, it's just that the application does not display that correctly and shows the system default instead of the user default. I think it also needs a 'Use System Default' button.
The system-config-printer implementation provides this button now.
