If you don't mind getting you hands dirty with the command line, try the following as your normal user ID: lpoptions -d PSC1600 This should set the default printer for the logged-in user. The "system default printer" is determined by the server, not the client, but it can be overriden on a user-by-user basis in this way. The lpoptions command creates a .lpoptions file in the home directory of the user with the default specified. Or you can set the PSC1600 to be the network-wide default printer by connecting to remoteserver:631 and configuring it there - of course if you have a ~/.lpoptions file that will override it. -- Manuel A.
