I did not know that! But it is not clear in the docs. CUPS talks about 
"printers" and "printer instances". They recommend using lpoptions to 
create instances, and use them. Moreover, "printer instances" the way 
they are created with lpoptions are NOT available from the gtk print 
menu.....

All right, I'm going to try to add more printers for the same USB 
device. I hope it will work.

Thanks,
