The easiest i snot to make a queue but to let your Ubuntu notebook
accept printer broadcasts from the local network.

If you want to make a queue, make it a raw queue, then the filtering is
done on the server (ad CUPS propagates the info of the printer options
on the server to the client, so that you can control the processing of
the job from the print dialogs of your client applications).
