I've run into the same problem, using Kubuntu 18.04 (about 10 years after this was reported).
The machine is used by multiple people, and they should not mess up each other's printer settings. So I removed them from the lpadmin group. However, now the only way to set (local) printer defaults is via the command line tool lpoptions, which will write to ~/.cups/lpoptions. Are there *any* GUI solutions for configuring local printer defaults? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127071 Title: system-config-printer does not save options into .cups/lpoptions for unprivileged users To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/127071/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
