Currently, this is the standard behavior of upstream CUPS. I think there should be at least an error message.
Scenario is that a non-existing print queue is set as (personal) default in ~/.cups/lpoptions and with this it is not possible to set a default printer with "lpadmin -d <printer>" and one does not get any warning or error message. Even if the lpadmin command has set the system default, it should warn that the calling user has a personal default in ~/.cups/lpoptions (and perhaps even that the personal default is an invalid, non-existing queue). Please report this to CUPS upstream at http://www.cups.org/str.php ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1497613 Title: cannot set default printer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1497613/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
