the default queue. This happens with some variants
of LPRng, especially on recent RedHat systems that
use the “printconf” database of queues.
When using printconf, the /etc/printcap file is
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. Since
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.
LPD systems identify the default queue as the one
named “lp”. Thus, if there is already a queue by this
name, and if it doesn’t have an 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.

only be adequately achieved if the PostScript data

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