Hum... I'm not sure what do you mean here by "system default" :-) I always set the default printer from CUPS web interface and IIRC, you need the root password for "delicate" tasks (like adding a new printer or setting the default one). So, I guess these actions are kept as the "default" (system wide settings) :-? >> But using CUPS web interface and set the default printer from there >> should have the same effect.

You should investigate that point further, it is important to have a working CUPS web interface as most of the common task rely on it.
