I have done so. I have half a dozen "printers" installed for my Xerox
Phaser 7400DN, each with a different PPD and/or driver. I was able to
call each one different things. The name works in the dialog box and
when I use lpr at the command line.

I am pouring concrete today and don't have time to give details. I also
have other comments re editing the PPD file, but they will have to wait
until later. Concrete waits for no man.
