Well, I have a very complex and esoteric script that I load.  However,
perhaps with years of study, you can duplicate it.

#!/bin/sh
lpcontrol -e

(Which is what I need in my case for a similar problem)

Just put it into /usr/local/etc/rc.d and make it executable, changing
the -p to an -e of course.  Call it whatever you wish, but be sure to
add an sh extension, e.g. call it lptcontrol.sh

That should do it.
