The easiest is to make it the first printer in /etc/printcap and restart
lpd.
Or you can define variable (PRINTER) in your environmental variables. I
prefer the first approach, but I suspect that most set up programs use the
second approach.
You can give a print queue multiple names in printcap, so if you want to
always have ps as your default printer, just add ps to the list of names for
the printer:
eg:
z53|rp1|ps:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/rp1:\
:rm=hammer2.jhammer.org:\
:rp=ps:\
:sh:mx#0:
