This works on the testing squeeze but not on the other.But what error are you getting when you run it? No errors and no file? :-?
When lpoptions is run on the Squeeze partition (the one with cups problem) lpoptions returns nothing. Which is how it should be because the cups interface is not working.
On the Test-Squeeze partition with the working Cups interface, lpoptions returns data about the default printer, as you would expect.
Note the /etc/cups/lpoptions file is empty. So cups did not enter the printer name into that file and the printer is working OK anyway.
I am about to reformat the old lenny partition and install from a new install CD. If that succeeds, which I believe it will, I will tnem do to same for the Sid partition.
Thanks for an interesting thread and your replies. Happy Holidays Wayne
