Thanks for the reply Kwan.

The short answer is yes, I think.

I configured the actual queues via the redhat print config tool but I
used spadmin to both configure the printers for OO.o and provide the
proper ppd file for each (xerox 416 and 480).

OO.o will print to each printer but the print output will go to the one
thats selected as default via the redhat tool.
