If by queue you mean another printer instance, ie same printer used
but a different dpi etc, then you just make a new printer with a
different name.  
CUPS Administration -> Add Printer
All of the options, except the printer name, are the same as the one
you already have, (IIRC).  Then change the options to be what you want.

I have, for instance, an HP6P laser printer I have set up printer HP
as draft, 300dpi, printer 6P for 600dpi, and printer HP6PCB for
printed circuit board transfers.  

Hope I understood you correctly.
