How to restore the default Postscript printer

printing

I did a Reset printing system…, thinking it would remove all printers I installed. I didn't think it would remove everything, including the default Postscript printer.

EDIT:

I'm on a MacBook Pro mid-2014, on OS X 10.10.3.

  1. I went to Printers & Scanners
  2. I right-click on the printer list
  3. Then, I chose Reset printing system…

I know I didn't delete "Postscript" itself, just the configured Postscript printer target. Still, I want to bring it back, since I didn't intend to delete it.

Here's a screenshot of the action I'm referring to, although I just found this and it's not a screenshot from my machine.
