[cups.general] F10, cups, amanda problem.

Greetings all;

I ran a backup last night for the first time since I upgraded to F10, using 
amanda installed according to the usual procedure of building it as the user 
amanda, then becoming root to install it.

The backup went to completion ok except for one thing, it is supposed to print 
a backup summary page when its done.

However, no paper was laying on the output tray this morning.  So I first 
became amanda as that is the only user that can run the amanda things, and 
tried an "amreport Daily" which should have printed another copy.  But:

[amanda at coyote cups]$ amreport Daily
/usr/bin/lpr: Error - no default destination available.

So as amanda, I chased down all the linkages and find that /usr/bin/lpr -
>/etc/alternatives/print ->/usr/bin /lpr.cups.

Yet lp1 is very clearly defined as the default printer according to cups at 
localhost:631/printers.

As amanda, I attempt to print a file that only amanda has perms to read:
[amanda at coyote cups]$ lpr /home/amanda/.amandahosts
lpr: Error - no default destination available.

What can I do to rectify this?

Thanks.
