Define the default printer is the problem. The situation: going somewhere with a laptop and plugging a printer there. The printer is automatically added, OK. But it is not the default printer automatically and if I don't want to print using lpr/dvips/whatever -Pnewprinter I want to define for sometimes this printer as the default one. In that case the cups web interface (http://localhost:631) asks for the root password. I want to get rid of this.

This is not clear for me: I have a private lan with one server and a few clients and if the httpd server is running on the server, a request http://localhost:631 on a client, automatically switches to http://server:631 And I don't know why and I don't know how to avoid this behaviour.
