The <DefaultPrinter ...> ... </Printer> tags in printers.conf are
absolutely correct and not the cause of the problem. It is also correct
that when you set the system's default printer with any printer setup
tool that then the entry in printers.conf gets a <DefaultPrinter ...>
opening tag.
Problem can be that somewhere else a default printer is set, for example
ina ~/.cups/lpoptions file in your home directory or in an
/etc/cups/lpoptions file. Please check these files and remove any
unwished default printer choices.
It is also possible that applications track a default printer by
themselves or simply pre-select the printer used last within the
application. AFAIK LibreOffice even tracks the las-used printer in the
documents, making the "default" printer being selected per-document.
