that contains the model number of your printer. Example: You want to create a queue for a Lexmark T632. You locate the line matching this printer from supported_printers and it looks like this: Lexmark T632 10LT63x automatic The printer type is 10LT63x, and the supported language is automatic. 19 - Lexmark W850 | Print Drivers for UNIX and LINUX Systems - Page 20

However, if a duplex unit is not connected to the printer, your print job prints on one side of the paper - Lexmark W850 | Print Drivers for UNIX and LINUX Systems - Page 22
real name of a print 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.
