# 5.7. Default Printer and Server Host

Options used:

- default_remotehost=default rm (remote host)

- default_printer=default rp (remote printer)

If the preceding steps do not yield a printer name and the require_explicit_q flag is not set then the default_printer and default_remote_host values from the `lpd.conf` configuration file will be used. If there is no configuration file, then the compile time defaults will be used.

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 missingprinter@localhost to provide an annoying message for users.
