Hi

What's the "Default Printer" actually means? 

I've setup one of my printers to be "Default Printer",
http://localhost:631/printers/

and I unset the LPDEST environment variable, in hoping the consequent
lpr will be using the "Default Printer", but this is what I get:

 lpr: Error - LPDEST environment variable names non-existent destination ""!

So, how can I make use of the default printer without specifying any
environment variables?

thanks
