Re: [Printing-user-general] dev order for 2 USB printers, how?

Do

lpinfo -v

If your CUPS is not too old (otherwise update your CUPS to a newer
version) you should have lines like

direct usb://Canon/iP3000

and

direct usb://Kyocera%20Mita/FS-1010

Replace the URIs of your print queues with these URIs, for example with
commands like

lpadmin -p bjet -E -v usb://Canon/iP3000
lpadmin -p laser -E -v usb://Kyocera%20Mita/FS-1010

and always the printers will be connected with the correct print queue,
independent of the sequence of turning them on.
