Change Default Printer CUPS CentOS 6

Each Linux system has a default, even if you have a full CUPS Server, the local system default can be set. Here’s how to do that:

login, and su to root

CUPS default printer: login, and su to root

to view you present default, issue the following command, the d= default destination

CUPS default printer: to view you present default, issue the following command, the d= default destination

perfect, now let’s look at what printers are available

CUPS default printer: perfect, now let’s look at what printers are available

as you can see there are two printers available, we want to switch it to the B1260dn, to do so, issue the following command:

CUPS default printer: as you can see there are two printers available, we want to switch it to the B1260dn, to do so,…

usually the long string of commands shows when the printer was changed

now if we do another lpstat -d

CUPS default printer: if we do another lpstat -d

our default printer is changed!

That’s it!
