There's no guarantee that they match, although you're making your  
life more difficult if they don't --- but I can imagine queue and  
device names being different because everyone (or worse, every  
program; I've heard some horror stories about dealing with various  
bits of commercial software) expects the queue to have a particular  
name.  Also, there *is* no useful name when the printer is directly  
connected to a parallel or USB port.
