The queue name is typically raw. Other valid queue
names are text, binps, auto, or a user-defined
queue name (user-defined print queues can be set
up through Telnet or the embedded Web server, see

For a three-port HP Jetdirect external print server,
attach a port number to the queue name (for
example, raw1, raw2, or raw3).
