How do I use Terminal to set a printer as "Default Printer"?
I've had an issue lately with setting a printer as default printer in the Print & Fax Preference Pane. I have two separate printers (Lexmark X463de and HP Color Laserjet 3800) and I'm having an issue setting the HP printer as the default printer to replace the Lexmark. I've tried most things already - deleting the printers out of the preference pane, renaming them, etc. - and I haven't had any luck.
What I'm wondering now is whether or not I can use Terminal to bypass the Print & Fax preference pane and set the HP as my default printer. Any suggestions will be helpful.
Note: The reason I need to set it as my default printer is because I'm using an older program that doesn't allow to switch between printers; therefore, I can only use the default printer to print what I need. And I' doing this through USB, not over WiFi.
