It is a combination of how you define the printer queue in LPDXMANY
and routing to the appropriate LPR link.

In LPDXMANY, define a printer queue name which uses the desired
translate table, then point to a form which you have defined in
LPRFORMS, use a nodeid to point to the desired LPR link, and if the
lpr link uses the LPRXONE exit use a userid of ASCII to tell the exit
not to translate
