Package: cups-common Version: 1.4.3-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
During last days I was surprised by a strange behavior of my cups system. I coud not print to the default printer, but could print to the same printer if I use the explicit name. After googling a bit, I noticed that other person had a similar problem due to an ancient ~/.lpoptions file https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481481 Yes, I had one pointing to an ancient HP Deskjet 690C which is no longer in my system. The good news is that this is now honoured. Removing that file made my printer work again as default. However, and this is the reason for this wishlist bugreport, I think more verbose error messages would have helped me a lot. For instance, when I tried to print a document with the wrong setup, I receive: lpr: Error - no default destination available. Something like lpr: Error - no default destination available [~/.lpoptions used]. or lpr: Error - no default destination 'cdj690c' available. or a combination of both would have been very useful. The same happens if I call lpq, where info about the default printer would have also been appreciated. Thanks for taking care of cups.
