Redhat-config-printer, being a system tool (and needing to run as root), sets the *system* default not the user default. Use the Print manager (in Accessories) to change your user default. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: When I use printconf-gui to change my default printer, it sets it fine and printing a test page to the new default printer works. *BUT*, while still logged in to same account, using 'lpr somefile' right after changing the default printer prints to the *old* default printer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-printer-gui-0.6.47-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use printconf-gui (Main Menu / System Settings / Printing) to change default printer. 2. Apply change 3. Quit printconf-gui 4. lpr somefile Actual Results: still prints to *old* default Expected Results: should print to *new* default printer Additional info: A workaround was to manually change the .lpoptions file in my home directory. I had to add these lines: ------------------------- Dest newprinter Default newprinter and then my 'lpr somefile' printed on my *new* default printer.
