Shared print queue options are lost on client after reboot in RHEL

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

I am working with the printer configuration on some client servers that are set up to use cups-browsed to configure shared print queues on a central server. I configured a print queue and added the following options:

lpadmin -p 5si -o orientation-requested-default=3
lpadmin -p 5si -o page-top-default=48p 
lpadmin -p 5si -o top-default=48

but after reboot, these configuration parameters are lost.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.8 and later updates, including RHEL 8
