how to name print queues with the same in different facilities

We have one AS/400 serving multiple remote sites.

We have always named print queues 

FL_P1 for the first printer in Florida, 

FL_P2 for the second printer in Florida;

NY_P1 for the first printer in New York, 

etc.

Is there an easy way to name the first printer in each location P1, and have
the user's library list find the P1 in their local facility?  It would have
to find the proper OUTQ, Printer, and output writer.

I have been told this doesnt work so well because we would have to set up
the OUTQ, Printer, and output writer in different libraries.  

Is there an easy way to accomplish this?  Or is it best to have the facility
name as part of each printer name?

TIA
