Set Address to vpp-"destination".ethz.ch. As example etlf27-1 as destination. The name of the Queue always begins with the destination Name "destination/", the second part is constructed from the printer's model name and vppdriver and name separated by a dash, all lowercase. Valid locations and printer names can be looked up here: VPP Destination List. You can choose Name and Location freely, but it's a real good idea to enter something meaningful, so you recognize the Printer later on.
