cups, lpd and printers.conf 1

[cheer8923]

The default printer is HPColor and its state is stopped. There is another printer HPColor4600 and points to the same physical printer. lpr will work with HPColor4600 but can't get anything through the default HPColor. I saw the following printers.conf which is generated by cups. How could I change the default printer (actually delete HPColor and use HPColor4600 as default)?

Thanks!

The best way to administer CUPS is through its web interface. Open up a browser on your linux box and point it to

http://localhost:631

and you should find all you need, including the documentation.
