[STR New]
I gave trunk a test and found that:
a) printers.conf is always alphabetized
b) the clients default to the first <Printer/>, treating the
<DefaultPrinter/> as just another <Printer/>
This must be an issue with cupsd; it affects other clients such as any Qt
or gtk apps.
I just tried downgrading back to 1.5; the problem also exists there.
The DefaultPrinter was set in my case via the web interface.
(The clients do honour the Default entry in $HOME/.cups/lpoptions,
which is why I had not previously noticed it.)
[This would be less of a problem for me if I didnât have a queue called
âdymoâ pointing at a label printer. â¹]
