The Spool -List only lists universe print queues It doesn't like printers on the network. When we create a new printer on our network, we have to go into Universe and add the queue and link the two to each other.

In Chuck's example, this particular printer will never have been declared to U2 - I did this all the time. The only printer UV was told about was DEFAULT, which didn't exist ... In fact, I suspect this syntax will list all the printers known to the server on which U2 is running, which could easily NOT include a valid printer the user is trying to print to ...
