I am having some printing issues with FC3 that I have not seen before.
I have a CUPS server with 6 printers. When I initially built my machine I used printer "A." Recently I attempted to set printer "B" to my default. Some applications(namely firefox and xpdf) simply do not recognize the change even though the printer config util shows that printer "B" is my default. The applications continue to print to "A"
Anyone seen this?

Which printer config util? Do you have a ~/.lpoptions file? If so, does its contents correspond to the desired default printer?

Contents of ~/.lpoptions:
sean@oscar ~ (2) >> less .lpoptions Default L4v
However, my default printer from the printconfui is set to "adams"
It seems like something is getting confused, should I delete the .lpoptions file?

printconf-gui changes the system default, which is overridden by the per-user default in ~/.lpoptions.

To change a user's default printer, use Preferences->More Preferences->Default Printer; this ends up writing out your ~/.lpoptions.
Ty for the assist. I changed the default and all is well.
