I already did  Johannes and the contents are :-
Default EPSON-Stylus-Photo-R285 Resolution=360dpi


What else is hidden in that document I might not have noticed ?

Its not in lpoptions I've checked all that show up on a search :-
[root at g8jvm richard]# locate lpoptions
/etc/cups/lpoptions
/home/richard/.cups/lpoptions
/usr/bin/lpoptions
/usr/share/cups/www/help/man-lpoptions.html
/usr/share/man/man1/lpoptions.1.gz

Its not stored on the printer as any volatile memory is not battery backed.

I wouldn't have asked the question if I hadn't looked everywhere I could think of. A polite RTFM is not very helpful.
