Hmm... super strange. I restarted the cups daemon on the client side, then

$ lpadmin -d hp_4l

$ lpstat -t | grep default
system default destination: epson_cx1500

$ env | grep epson || echo no found 
no found

Moreover, 

$ lpadmin -x epson_cx1500

$ lpc status | grep epson -A1
epson_cx1500:
        printer is on device '///dev/null' speed -1

-- still there, do it again,

$ lpadmin -x epson_cx1500

$ lpc status | grep epson -A1

-- gone. however,

$ lpstat -t | grep default
system default destination: epson_cx1500

Super strange! Anyone has more ideas?

Ahh...! 

$ lpoptions
auth-info-required=none copies=1 device-uri=file:///dev/null job-hold-
until=no-hold job-priority=50 job-sheets=none,none marker-change-time=0 
number-up=1 printer-info=epson_cx1500 printer-is-accepting-jobs=true 
printer-is-shared=false printer-location printer-make-and-model='Epson 
Stylus CX1500 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.6 on 192.168.0.100' printer-state=3

type=2162692 printer-uri-supported=ipp://localhost:631/printers/
epson_cx1500

How can I change that lpoptions? Hold on... Yes,

$ lpoptions -d hp_4l

Did the trick. Now:

$ lpstat -t | grep default
system default destination: hp_4l

Thanks every one who responded.
