	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, 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.
