I noticed that we have user profiles that designate an outq that will never be
attached to the print device specified.  Sure enough, their reports go to the
outq not to the device so there's never a problem.  When is the print device
used?

AFAIK, the print device is used only to provide device specific formatting characteristics to the host print support. In the case of SDS printers, it probably doesn't mean much. The source of this wisdom however, is lost in the mists of time (I could be wrong).
