CORRECTED: Can't change default printer

Further replies from David Foster, Sanjiv K. Bhatia, and David H. Brierly

pointed out to me that the environmental variables LPDEST and PRINTER can

interfere with lpadmin operations in just the way I described. After

getting rid of those variables, lpadmin works the way it should. I can

lp to my printers correctly.

For some reason enscript 1.6.1 is still unhappy.

# enscript -P swjet foo

_default: unknown printer

Broken pipe

# enscript -d swjet foo

_default: unknown printer

Broken pipe

However, this works:

# enscript -p - foo | lp -d swjet
