Changing the Default Values
You can change the default values of a print queue by the following procedure.
Changing the default values of a print queue
1
Study the interface file, named <queue name>, stored in the /etc/lp/
interfaces directory.
This file contains all of the default settings and values that can be set. These values
are case sensitive and must conform to the /bin/sh variable format.
2
To manually edit the configuration file (/etc/lp/interfaces/<queue
name>.conf), add a line that consists of the parameter and value.
For example, to change the default orientation to Landscape, add the following line:
orient= "LANDSCAPE"
