Use Printer Aliases when you are creating a queue in Linux to provide alternative names for a print queue. For example, the real name of a print queue could be Bldg_4_Room1, but the alias describes it as duplex. Users can then use Bldg_4_Room1 or duplex as the print queue name when printing.
Note: | Printer aliases are only supported on Linux platforms with the LPRng print subsystem enabled. If you want to modify the aliases of a queue, you need to recreate the print queue. |
