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. The interface file is saved in the following directory.
- Solaris: /etc/lp/interfaces
- HP-UX: /etc/lp/interface
- IBM AIX: /opt/toshiba/tap/filter
- Linux: /opt/toshiba/tap/interface
To edit the configuration file manually, add a line that include parameters and value.

The configuration file is saved in following directory.
- Solaris: /etc/lp/interfaces

For example, to change the default orientation to Landscape, add the following line:
orient= "LANDSCAPE"
Deleting the print queue
There are two ways to delete the print queue: one is deleting a print queue using estcolorrm/estbwrm, and the other
is deleting a print queue manually without using estcolorrm/estbwrm.
