I've looked through the manual of your printer as well, and indeed there is no mention of this at all. I've actually found it in the manual of my own printer, and only after a thorough search in some obscure footnote. > Can you supply a link for me, and others? It's in here: -> http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/files/dlf/doc002447/cv_dcp8080n_ukeng_net_b.pdf Search for 'lpd', then you'll find a section of how to get a Mac to print through LPD, and there I found this obscure queue name.
