To print to a non-default queue, type lpr -P <queue name> (with no brackets). So if you've got a second queue named "600dpi", just put "lpr -P 600dpi". For OpenOffice, run Office -> OpenOffice.org Printer Setup. You can set the default "Generic Printer" to a non-default queue by selecting Properties and amending the lpr command as above. You can also add multiple printers pointing to different queues in the same way. > I am a newbie to RedHat (about 3 weeks) and have enjoyed getting things > set up and working correctly.
