Description of problem: I am running mageia4 distribution (up to date 2015 March 19th) on a network. This machine is setup as a cups client of a cups server, a debian machine, which manage several printers. For approximatively a month now, kde4 applications (exemple: okular, gwenview ) do not use per user printers settings, which is specified in the file ${HOME}/.cups/lpoptions For example, I specified into this file to print by default in color mode with BRAQUE printer: cat ${HOME}/.cups/lpoptions Dest BRAQUE ColorModel=CMYK Duplex=DuplexNoTumble sides=two-sided-long-edge PageSize=A4 Each time I try to print a color document from a kde4 applications, the printing is done in black and white. If I check the options from the print dialog box, I can see that my own options are not used. It means that my ${HOME}/.cups/lpoptions is ignored. It was working fine at the beginning of the year (2015 January). It looks like that the problem is due to a recent update of kde4 or qt4, NOT from cups, because I don't have any problem with *NON* kde4 application like firefox, libreoffice. Even from the command line (lp ), printing is correctly done and follows printing options specified on ${HOME}/.cups/lpoptions. I also have a mageia3 machine in the same network, and it prints correctly. But I am also running a mageia5 beta3 (up to date 2015 March 19th) and I have also the same problem as with mageia4 (up to date 2015 March 19th). Thanks for your help Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup a mageia4/cauldron machine using cups 2. create a specific printer option from ${HOME}/.cups/lpoptions file 3. use kde4 applications to print and check if it follows ${HOME}/.cups/lpoptions default options Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

I just had cups service switched off in XFce. I was able to start it with MCC-> System Services. My system-config-printer is 1.5.11. Or it may have come from the recent update of Xfce-config.
