PRESET(1M)                                             PRESET(1M)



     NAME
          preset - reset the lp queue system to a pristine state by
          deleting printers

     SYNOPSIS
          preset

     DESCRIPTION
          preset should be used when standard methods of manipulating
          printers (adding, deleting) or the lp printing queue fail.
          For example, rmprinter (1M) can fail if any of the standard
          lp utilities it calls fail, and the utilities can fail if
          certain files are corrupted.  preset deletes and creates
          crucial files in the lp spool directory; after it is run,
          there are no printers and the system will allow printers to
          be added.
