That makes two of us. Try setting a per-user default queue, which overrides the system-level setting in /etc/cups/lpoptions. The per-user default is stored in ~/.cups/lpoptions with 'lpoptions -d'. There is also a PRINTER variable (see lp(1)) which can be used instead. It overrides ~/.cups/lpoptions. -- Brian.
