I guess your KDE used lpr and if no PRINTER var is defined lpr use the
queue lp as default. For cups forget the fragile PRINTER settings. With
echo Default {yourqueuehere} >> /etc/cups/lpoptions
set the systemwide default queue for the cups client tools. Users
can change it in file ~/.lpoptions or via PRINTER (and/or LPDEST?)
settings.

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
