Hum, indeed, that is the command suggested by CUPS for setting the 
default printer:

***

Setting the Default Printer

If you normally use a particular printer, you can tell CUPS to use it by 
default using the lpoptions(1) command:

lpoptions -d printer

But using CUPS web interface and set the default printer from there 
should have the same effect. Didn't that work for you? :-?
