For some reason, my lp print command doesn't work. My lpoptions file in
/etc/cups/lpoptions is:
Default Officejet_Pro_8600_N911a media=DRAFT page-bottom=54 page-left=54
page-right=54 page-top=54
This is the system's file, not yours.
If I run lpoptions on the command line I get:

This display is for a default printer. In your case it would be expected
to be the system default.
A you can see, my printer is specifically called out. But if I run lp <file>
I get:
lp: Error - no default destination available.
Contradicts what is above.
I've tried to reinstall cups_client but that didn't help.
I have an almost identical system that is setup the same way and is not
having the problem.
Anyone have an idea what's causing this.
Not a clue! I do not experience it myself. What does 'lpstat -t' give?
Does 'lp -d Officejet_Pro_8600_N911a <file>' print? You could compare
logs for the "good" and "bad" systems: 'strace lp <file>'. Both systems
have the same cupsd.conf and both run cups-browsed?
Thank you for the response
lpstat -t gives:
scheduler is running
system default destination: Officejet_Pro_8600_N911a
device for Officejet_Pro_8600_N911a: socket://192.168.1.5:9100

Yes 'lp -d Officejet_Pro_8600_N911a <file>' prints.
Just lp <file> gives: lp:Error - no default destination aviilable
running lpoptions print out, lists the proper url and name of the printer.
I have a virtual machine - also Debian Stretch - that acts the exact
same way.
I have another computer with Stretch installed that works fine.
Vary confused.
