Hi, Chris,
Thanks for the tip! I set up three local print queues, lp_lo, lp_hi,
and lp_sh, for low, high, and super high print resolution. Then on the
other Linux machines in our network, I set up remote queues lp_lo,
lp_hi, and lp_sh. Now I can print at different resolutions with 'lpr
-P<queue>. It's working great!
