<p>If the preceding steps do not yield a printer name and the
<tt class="LITERAL">require_explicit_q</tt> flag is not set
then the <tt class="LITERAL">default_printer</tt> and <tt
class="LITERAL">default_remote_host</tt> values from the <tt
class="FILENAME">lpd.conf</tt> configuration file will be
used. If there is no configuration file, then the compile
time defaults will be used.</p>
<p>Using the fallback values is usually not a desirable event
and may indicate that you have a misconfigured host, so the
compile time defaults are usually set to <tt class=
"LITERAL">missingprinter@localhost</tt> to provide an
annoying message for users.</p>
