This is really a RH9 question.  Is there a RH9 support list?

Anyway, I am having trouble setting the default printer for a user in evolution 1.2. If I File->Print and then set the command line to lpr -P printername, it only works for the cuttent session. Evolution seems to ignore $LPDEST and $PRINTER. How are you supposed to have a user print to a printer which is not the system wide default?



If you are running RH9, it may be a RH9 question.
However, I think it applies to this list as well.
I, on my home machine do not have this issue, but I can see it would be nice to have the answer available.




The answer, or at least workaround, seems to be:

lpoptions -d printername

This creates a .lpoptions file in the user's home directory.

It is specifically a CUPS thing, I believe.
