Public bug reported: Copied from https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/issues/454
Yair Yarom submitted Debian bug 1008053 and observed that running lpoptions as root does not update /etc/cups/lpoptions but /root/.cups/lpoptions. Running lpoptions as root (e.g. "lpoptions -d HP-OfficeJet") should update /etc/cups/lpoptions to be the defaults for all users. But instead it tries to update /root/.cups/lpoptions. This has been fixed upstream in cups, in debian sid, and mantic. Proposing to add this change in jammy and older (still supported) series as well. The fix is a one line change in https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/pull/456 Thanks. 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu ubuntu@jammy-vm:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS Release: 22.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center ubuntu@jammy-vm:~$ apt-cache policy cups cups: Installed: 2.4.1op1-1ubuntu4.7 Candidate: 2.4.1op1-1ubuntu4.7 Version table: *** 2.4.1op1-1ubuntu4.7 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.4.1op1-1ubuntu4 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages 3) What you expected to happen: root@jammy-vm:~# lpstat -p printer HP-Officejet-Pro-8710 is idle. enabled since Thu 01 Feb 2024 03:17:49 PM UTC root@jammy-vm:~# root@jammy-vm:~# lpoptions -d HP-Officejet-Pro-8710 copies=1 device-uri=lpd://10.20.135.153:515/PASSTHRU finishings=3 job-cancel-after=10800 job-hold-until=no-hold job-priority=50 job-sheets=none,none marker-change-time=0 number-up=1 print-color-mode=color printer-commands=none printer-info=HP-Officejet-Pro-8710 printer-is-accepting-jobs=true printer-is-shared=true printer-is-temporary=false printer-location printer-make-and-model='HP Officejet Pro 8710, hpcups 3.21.12' printer-state=3 printer-state-change-time=1706800669 printer-state-reasons=none printer-type=4124 printer-uri-supported=ipp://localhost/printers/HP-Officejet-Pro-8710 root@jammy-vm:~# root@jammy-vm:~# cat /etc/cups/lpoptions Default HP-Officejet-Pro-8710 root@jammy-vm:~# root@jammy-vm:~# cat /root/.cups/lpoptions cat: /etc/cups/lpoptions: No such file or directory root@jammy-vm:~# 4) What happened instead: root@jammy-vm:~# lpstat -p printer HP-Officejet-Pro-8710 is idle. enabled since Thu 01 Feb 2024 03:17:49 PM UTC root@jammy-vm:~# root@jammy-vm:~# lpoptions -d HP-Officejet-Pro-8710 copies=1 device-uri=lpd://10.20.135.153:515/PASSTHRU finishings=3 job-cancel-after=10800 job-hold-until=no-hold job-priority=50 job-sheets=none,none marker-change-time=0 number-up=1 print-color-mode=color printer-commands=none printer-info=HP-Officejet-Pro-8710 printer-is-accepting-jobs=true printer-is-shared=true printer-is-temporary=false printer-location printer-make-and-model='HP Officejet Pro 8710, hpcups 3.21.12' printer-state=3 printer-state-change-time=1706800669 printer-state-reasons=none printer-type=4124 printer-uri-supported=ipp://localhost/printers/HP-Officejet-Pro-8710 root@jammy-vm:~# root@jammy-vm:~# cat /etc/cups/lpoptions cat: /etc/cups/lpoptions: No such file or directory root@jammy-vm:~# root@jammy-vm:~# cat /root/.cups/lpoptions Default HP-Officejet-Pro-8710 root@jammy-vm:~# ** Affects: cups (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Fix Released ** Tags: udeng-2281 ** Attachment added: "strace of `lpoptions -d` as root" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2052925/+attachment/5745886/+files/strace.txt ** Description changed: Copied from https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/issues/454 - Yair Yarom submitted Debian bug #1008053 and observed that running + Yair Yarom submitted Debian bug 1008053 and observed that running lpoptions as root does not update /etc/cups/lpoptions but /root/.cups/lpoptions. - - Running lpoptions as root (e.g. "lpoptions -d HP-OfficeJet") should update /etc/cups/lpoptions to be the defaults for all users.
