Bug Description
Running Hardy Alpha 5
Selecting a default printer under Preferences -> Default Printer does not do anything. Going to Administration -> Printing shows that no default printer has been set. Opening gedit and going to File -> Print doesn't reflect a default printer being said either (PDF and PX-A620 show in the printer list and neither is selected). If there is supposed to be a difference between default printer in the two apps ("Default Printer" and "Printing"), then it needs to be made clear (for example: if Preferences -> Default Printer only applies to the user, then it needs to say that. If Administration -> Printing applies system wide, then it also needs to say that). If the default printer in "Default Printer" and "Printing" should be the same, then what is the purpose of "Default Printer"? It would just be redundant.
Thanks for your report; assigning to system- config- printer. Please take a look at https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Bugs/ FindRightPackag e and try to assign the bugs you file to a particular package in the future.
