[Bug 1497613] Re: cannot set default printer

 

Currently, this is the standard behavior of upstream CUPS. I think there
should be at least an error message.

Scenario is that a non-existing print queue is set as (personal) default
in ~/.cups/lpoptions and with this it is not possible to set a default
printer with "lpadmin -d <printer>" and one does not get any warning or
error message. Even if the lpadmin command has set the system default,
it should warn that the calling user has a personal default in
~/.cups/lpoptions (and perhaps even that the personal default is an
invalid, non-existing queue).

Please report this to CUPS upstream at
