Working with printer aliases" on page 22. 11 Click Finish. Creating print queues from the command line 1 Before you can create the queue, you must gather the following information: a valid device name, the printer type, the printer language, and the default print queue settings options. a The device - Lexmark Optra T614 | Print Drivers for UNIX and LINUX Systems - Page 20
gathered in step 1 on page 19, create a new print queue ("myqueue"), for a virtual device ("mydevice").

all of the available options installed. If you select an option the printer does not support, the printer ignores the unsupported settings. For example, the Printer Type may support an optional duplex unit. However, if a duplex unit is not connected to the printer, your print job prints on one side - Lexmark Optra T614 | Print Drivers for UNIX and LINUX Systems - Page 22
queue could be "Bldg_4_Room1," but the alias describes it as "duplex." Users can then use "Bldg_4_Room1" or "duplex" as the print queue name when printing. Note: Printer aliases are supported only on Linux platforms with the LPRng print subsystem enabled. If you want to modify the aliases of a queue - Lexmark Optra T614 | Print Drivers for UNIX and LINUX Systems - Page 23
