Heres a suggestion for printers,
instead of just locking in a single configuration how about during
the print command allowing for an option to modify the current print
command.
So that if it comes up with     lpr -Pprinter
the options are yes no and modify, and selecting modify allows you to
change the name of the printer for this message.

All you really need are Y/Enter to print with the default printer and
N/^C to cancel. Only, before hittiny Y/Enter, you'd have the option to edit
the print command. Kinda like when you're opening a remote folder over
IMAP...

I agree with John's Suggestion. It is very not to be able to change the print
command on the fly. I usually filter my printing through a postscript
formatter, sometimes, I would like to print the file differently. No easy way
now.
