FOOMATIC-P...RRED-DRIVER(8)

💅 FOOMATIC-P...RRED-DRIVER 💅

okay so real talk, this is a System Manager's Manual situation, section 8 of your friendly neighborhood FOOMATIC-P...RRED-DRIVER(8) page — yes the title got squished, the man page gods did that, not me 🙈

---

✨ NAME ✨

foomatic-preferred-driver — the little helper whose whole personality is setting default drivers in the Foomatic database 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

foomatic-preferred-driver

that's it. no flags, no arguments, no nothing. she just goes 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the lore 👑 — this command reads the printer database overview and then it writes default driver entries (<driver>..</driver>) into every single printer's XML database entry. every one. the whole roster. no cap 💅

and now the part you actually need to hear, bestie: it is very unlikely you need to do this. like, genuinely. extremely unlikely. the vibes are "you probably shouldn't" 😭

so yeah. she exists, she slays, she is almost certainly not for you. but if you do need her, she's right there ✨🦋
