You could just have pr5-h a alias, had remove the "L" Control line
if the "Q" line ended in "-h" :-)
I am thinking along those lines for Automatic N-UP printing
and/or other special print features.
Better than using a extra bounce queue, for only an options change.
Bounce queues are better suited to major file format conversions.
based on queue name.
By the way you don't need samba for Windows 2000 or Windows XP
they can print directly to the lpd queue.
