I cannot set up more than one instance. Adding a second one witj lpoptions deletes the existing one. You show five lines in your example.

Partly because buster's Firefox did not display instances for me and partly because I am wary of trusting an app's dialog to do the right thing. > -- example ~/.cups/lpoptions file in use: > > Default bx310fn > Dest laserjet5si/blank_duplex Duplex=DuplexNoTumble InputSlot=LargeCapacity > Dest laserjet5si/konzept InputSlot=Upper > Dest laserjet5si/manuell InputSlot=Manual > Dest P6021cdn InputSlot=MF1 Debian 10 has CUPS 2.2.10. The following link describes very similar observations to ours when CUPS 2.2.12 is used: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240183 Regards, Brian.
