They're Macs managed from OS X Server.  So their queue definitions are pushed by the server.

Problem with this is tracking so many clients which come and go on the network.

Also, the queue names that OS X Server pushes are algorithmically generated and not consistent across clients, or descriptive.  The queue names are formatted like mcx_0.

It seems like I'll need to revert to using LPD.
