Description
kchen@moltres:~$ lpr
No default printer configured. Specify a -P option, or configure a
default printer via e.g. System | Administration | Printing.
When I go to System->Administration->Printing, I find that I have a default printer set (with the green checkbox). I tried setting a different default printer and then setting it back to the original, which made no difference.
kchen@moltres:~$ dpkg -l debathena*print*

ii debathena-printing-config 1.21~ubuntu10.04 Printing configuration for Debathena
My default printer is a "local" networked printer, but I also tried setting an MIT printer as the default, and also got the same error message as above.
Printing by selecting a printer from an application or running lpq -Pprinter works fine.
