There is a cups cli command to set the default printer, something I've
not seen in the localhost:631 menu's, as cups supplies cupsified

lpadmin, which IIRC is how the systemwide default is set. Maybe thats
not been done yet?

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)
