change 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.

 

The default queue in LPRng is defined as the first

 

queue in /etc/printcap, and 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.

print, the Printer Package will work around this

 

issue by converting the data to regular PostScript.

 

However, if your application bypasses LLPR and

 

feeds EPS data to CUPS, the document may not

 

print correctly.

for user input before passing the job on to the print

 

spooler, very often the application will wait for the

 

process to return, and thus will appear to be frozen

application should resume functioning correctly

 

after the user exits LLPR.
