Huh? You shouldn't need to delete a queue to change the parameters on
the spooled device! If you do a STOP/QUEU/NEXT or STOP/QUEUE/RESET
and then do a SET DEV/NOSPOOL <dev>, then change the params you need
to change (remembering you need PHY_IO to make them /PERM), then you
just do a SET DEV/SPOOL=(x,y) <dev>, and then START/QUEU.  Now,
if you need to move the print queue to another device, you should be
able to do a START/QUEUE/ON=devname (or maybe that's an INIT/QUEUE/DEV/ON=).
I've done this more times than I care to recall, but I don't think I've
ever had to delete the queue!
