Bug Description

[Impact]

 * During some refactoring done to cupsGetNamedDest function used in many different parts of the code a regression has been introduced causing the per-user default printer setting (in ~/.cups/lpoptions) to be ignored.

This bug has been introduced in Artful due to the refactoring. Earlier releases are fine, similarly this bug is fixed upstream for Bionic.

[Test Case]

 1. Make sure at least 2 printers are set up in cups.
 2. Set one of them as global default.
 3. Create a user default setting (~/.cups/lpoptions) with the other printer set as default:
Default other_printer
 4. Run lpstat -d.

Expected result:
User default printer is displayed.

Actual result:
Global default printer is displayed.

[Regression Potential]

 * The regression potential is minial, as this is a very simple bugfix and is already included in the latest (2.2.5+) releases of cups (including Bionic).
 * The only setups affected may be those depending (possibly unintentionally) on the incorrect behavior. Their users may observe default printer change.

[Other Info]

 * Original bug description

LP ignores the settings defined in ~/cups/lpoptions in artful

Steps to reproduce:

1) Define a default print in lpoptions that differs from one in /etc/cups/printers.conf
2) Execute lpstat -d
3) Above will output default defined in prints.conf instead of ~/cups/lpoptions

Fixed in CUPS 2.2.6 which is the version used in Bionic.

For a SRU this should be the patch to backport:

SRU proposal for artful.

Previous releases are not affected, as this was introduced with some refactoring done to cupsGetNamedDest (cups/dest.c).
