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.
