Wow... this is a very bad way to handle an ignored parameter.  Why not just not
pay attention to it and accept any value?!  Having these 'magic' values really
confuses users.

When I was a kid I had to setup a fiery printer to the network.  It had no
documentation and the only way I could figure out how to print it was to dump
ethernet with tcpdump and look at the destination queue with printers that were
setup correctly.

The queue name was something like 'lpd0001a' ...

... anyway.
