automatically refreshed from the database of printers
managed by the system (usually through the “printtool”
command), and the queues in /etc./printcap.local are
appended to the resulting file. The default queue in LPRng is
defined as the first queue in /etc./printcap, therefore it is
not possible for the Linux Printer Package to change the
default when some queues have otherwise been defined using
printtool.
Thus, if there is already a queue by this name, and if it
doesn’t have any alias, then you won’t be able to change the
default. To work around this, you can either delete the queue
or rename it by manually editing the /etc./printcap file.

However, such post-processing can only be adequately
achieved if the PostScript data conforms to the Adobe

using N-up and other features relying on post-processing if
the document being printed isn’t compliant.
