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 Xerox 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 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.
