[STR New]

A difference between running data through a normal cups server and using
cupsfilter to test a chain of filters, is that the cups queue name is not
set when using cupsfilter.c.

If any of the filters in the chain make use of the queue name (as ours do)
then it's important to be able to set an effective printer queue name when
using cupsfilter.

The attached patch achieves this and we submit it in the hope that it will
be adopted in the mainline CUPS code.
