Printing problem

[Mike Reinehr]

Great! Glad you finally were able to figure it out.

In fact, I'm glad you told us about the .lpoptions file. Just last week I was 
trying to figure out where KDE/CUPS stored the system & user default printer 
information and never found it, now, here it is. It looks as if this is part 
of that cupsys-bsd package I was talking about, but I never stumbled across 
it.
