This is set via web interface. In lpoptions -P mailb1 -l the equivalent is set like "OptOutputBins/Papierablagen: StandardBin OBin1 OBin2 OBin3 *OBin5 OBin6 10OptnlBins", but lpoptions -P mailb1 has'nt shown this. So I have add this by lpoptions -P mailb1 -o OptoutputBins=OBin5. Nothing changes.

In the meantime, i have set up 5 queues for mailb1 to mailb5, all equal exept the OutputBin -setting in the Web interface. This reflects to the ppd-copies in /etc/cups/ppd: an diff shows the respective *DefaultOutputBin: Bin?x? with ?x? from 1 to 5 like the targeted Bin. I even consider to play with other settings in this files to tighten this screw. But no success.
