Hi Folks,

I seem unable to set the default printer using lpadmin -d printer-name
command, it seems to set it sometimes, but after CUPS restarts the system
doesn't have a default printer anymore. Other times it fails to do anything
at all.

Is there a config file that I can manually set the default printer in?

Thanks,
