route -- Command

Show or reset a user's default printer
route [printer]

The  command route  shows  or resets  your default  printer.  When  invoked
without  an argument,  it displays  your  default printer,  plus a  list of
available alternative printers.  When invoked with the argument printer, it
changes your default printer to  that printer.  printer must name a printer
that has been described to the spooler by the command lpadmin.

Note  that this  feature  is an  extension  to the  version of  lp that  is
included with UNIX System V.

Notes

route is unique to the MLP  implementation of the lp spooler.  Scripts that
use it will not be portable to other implementations of lp.

route is a link to lpstat.
