Ah, sorry it seems I didn't quote the original code.
It is

Vector<String> l = Split(System("lpoptions -l -d " + String(~printer)), '\n');

that seems to first list the options and then change the defaultprinter.
Not correct I think as you get the options of the previous printer.
If I change it like I wrote in the first message then it works correctly but still changes the default printer when used.
the -p works ok on the commandline but then the dialog doesn't return the correct printer as it seems to rely on changing the default printer.
