			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.
