I have an HP Office Jet Pro 8600-N ink-jet printer, and used the HP
Office Jet Device Management Program under linux. (HPLIP) to handle the
print queue.
Sometimes I sent a print job from a LibreOffice document to this
printer, but forgot that my system is not currently connected to the LAN
network, so naturally things halt and I get a message that the printer
has been placed in "pause" mode and to reactivate it.
Unfortunately, the printer configuration is written over and the "set
default printer" checkbox is turned off and the printer is removed from
default category. I am forced to go to the Yast2 manager and reedit the
printer configuration and turn on the "make default printer" check box
again. This is time consuming and it takes about 3 mins for the Yast2
program to run through all the printer drivers (must be thousands)
Has anyone figured out how to avoid having the printer removed as
default printer when the system is not connected to the LAN and a print
command is issued?
