I can't speak for your current system, but on my older CentOS, going
into <http://localhost:631/printers>, choosing a printer, clicking on
the Administration drop-down gadget, there is a "Set As Server Default"
option.

There's supposed to be a command line method, too:

lpoptions -d name-of-your-preferred-printer

And there may be a GUI in your system that's called up from running:

system-config-printer

I've found there are programs which ignore the default, and always go
their own way.  I've found that appimages won't use CUPS, they'll only
print to printers they've found some other way (probably through
ZeroConf discovery, even though I've tried to kill that as much as
possible), and always defaults to print to PDF.  Any attempt to print
normally just goes into a black hole.
