Am I using CUPS or some other printing method?

The command

  lpoptions -d number_15

will set your printer named "number_15" as your default printer for the user you are currently (and that info will be stored in "~/.lpoptions"). If you run that command as root, you set that printer as the default one for all users (and that info will be stored in "/etc/cups/lpoptions")..

See also "man lpoptions".
