Created attachment 113621
--> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=113621&action=edit
Per user settings override global settings.
I would love to provide a patch but I can't because I'm not a developer, and I
didn't see the code, but CUPS provide some utilities (lpoptions, lpq, lpstat,
lpadmin, and so) which modify the user's printers, without the need to be
superuser or root. You need (by default) to be root to add new printers, but
CUPS let the user set the default settings for each printer.
If you see the attachment, you'll see how I had set the default printer with
`lpoptions -d printername` it will set printername as my user's default
printer, ignoring the settings I have on the print-manager -kate shows my
user's default printer, not the system printer shown on print-manager- as it
doesn't look at the user's configuration, but the global's one.
I think both home and enterprise users would benefit if print-manager looks
onto user's settings to set the printer preferences.
