Hi Kurt,

thanks for the hint.  Unfortunately the symlink you propose doesn't work in that direction.  The `lpoptions` command will always remove an ~/.lpoptions file and move the data into ~/.cups/lpoptions if ~/.lpoptions is a symlink.  But the symlink solution works the other way round (~/.cups/lpoptions is the symlink):

  cat ~/.cups/lpoptions >> ~/.lpoptions
  cd ~/.cups
  rm -f lpoptions
  ln -s ../.lpoptions ./lpoptions

Thanks for pointing out the symlink idea.
