What should I tell lpoptions as root to have this printer set as the
system default destination for printing? I'll have to set this as
unshared too since I really don't need drive by spammers trashing my
printer and print jobs with their garbage. I don't know how to translate
hp-probe's output to anything acceptable to lpoptions.
