Ok maybe you can clear this up for me. The printer is named portia.
If I choose: Networked Unix (LPD) queue type the queue name raw seems
to work but nothing prints, the queue name portia prints, the queue
name auto gets the following error: There was a problem sending US
Letter PostScript test page
to 'portia' queue:

lpr: unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable

If I use Networked CUPS (IPP) the queue name comes up as
/printers/queue1 and I have no idea what to put there. Can you tell me?
