At one time there was an option in YaST to propose multiple queues
It was removed because it did work only if a Foomatic PPD file was used. In all other cases (e.g. PPDs from GimpPrint or from manufacturers) it cannot work.
It was removed because for CUPS it is neither needed nor is it in compliance to the design of CUPS to have multiple queues for one printer.
To have several predefined settings for one printer in CUPS, create so called "instances" of one queue, see the CUPS documentation in particular see "man lpoptions".

Thanks for the reply. May I make a few observations? 1. Since the option was removed shouldn't someone also remove the comments referring to it in YaST? 2. My printer, HP Deskjet 815C (and possibly the Epson R300, I'll have to check when I go home) does use a Foomatic PPD file. 3. If multiple queues are inconsistent with CUPS, then why have the options to manually set up multiple queues etc. with CUPS in YaST? Please don't get me wrong, I only as the above questions because I'm curios. I'm not complaining or anything like that. Regards Eddie
