I cannot imagine what happens on your particular system, see

In CUPS you can set the print queue name to what you want
(with some reasonable syntactical limits).

I don't know a printer setup tool where you cannot specify
the queue name as you like.

But there are tools that do full automated printer setup
and then you cannot specify the queue name,
have a look at "Automated Printer Configuration" in
