Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
Running lpoptions as root (e.g. "lpoptions -d mafil") should update
/etc/cups/lpoptions to be the defaults for all users (at least it was in the
past and still claim to do so in the manual). But instead it tries to update
/root/.cups/lpoptions.
Attached is a patch to fix it (to actually check the uid instead of home).
