Summary

Rick Perry said:

I did this once and got it to work. Besides the links, also do:

enable lw

accept lw

assuming lw is the new alias.

Bill Holzapfel said:

I've had to use classes, for example:

        lpadmin -p <printer> -c <alias>

Most people said make the make a new printer to the same port.

So you have 5 printers that are the same with differnet names.
