Sorry, yes I misunderstood what you meant as the queue name. Some printers do have a number queue names. However, I have only seen this on larger copiers.

You could try 'print' as the queue name (I believe the default for Xerox - not 100%).

If the documentation has not listed the queue name within the documentation, then I would suggest visiting the printers IP address via a web browser and determine if it is listed on the printers web page.

Failing this you could contact HP and ask them for details.

My experience with HP printers is that you do not need to specify the queue name.

I hope this helps.
