6 OK lets think through this once more. Your original $ lpstat -h
7 localhost -t output although it shows your gray-deskjet as the
8 default destination, it does not show that the other printer is
9 paused.
10
11 Try again to manually set the default printer (for all users) and see
12 if it picks it up:
13
14 # lpoptions -d gray-deskjet
15
16 May be worth re-naming ~/.lpoptions file if it exists to make sure
17 that only the /etc/cups/lpoptions are read by lp on each occasion.
18
19 Then stop the pdfprt (not sure how you do this from the command line,
20 I use the GUI). Check that pdfprt is stopped, gray-deskjet is idle
21 accepting jobs and is the default printer using $ lpststat -h
22 localhost -t. Then try to send something to the printer using lp,
23 e.g. lp foo.txt.
24
25 My guess is that for some reason your pdfprt is being picked up and
26 its address cups-pdf:/ is not correct?
