Check it in Printer Setup Utility (Drucker-Dienstprogramm)! Here it  
should be listed with its proper name and which type of printer it  
is, i.e. your <printer queue name> in one column and something  
printer and model and engine specific like "Xerox Phaser 3500 DN PS  
v3010.106" in the next one.

Me too! I only have these for my printer:

Simpdftex --help gives some pointers. I think it's 'simpdftex latex  
<latex file>' or 'simpdftex tex <tex file>' + any of the extra  
options. Or, by hand:

	(la)tex -output-format=dvi <(la)tex file>
	dvips -o file.ps file.dvi
	ps2pdf file.ps
