Figure 10-19: RTEL Installation
This script moves everything necessary to run the RTEL software into the /usr/spool/rtel direc-
tory tree. The source code can then be removed from the system.
The next step is to create and install backend filter program, or set up a named pipe and start the
RTELPD daemon process. For instructions on how to do this, please consult the README files in
the newly-installed RTEL directory.
10.3.3 Queueing with the RTEL Software
There is one important thing to note about queueing jobs to RTEL services. A job can be queued by
the host’s print system (lp, lpr, and others) or by the RapidPrint 500 itself. If you are only printing
to one queue from one host to one RapidPrint 500 service, the queueing is provided by the host; it
will not release a new job to the RapidPrint 500 until the previous job has completed.
When multiple print queues (possibly on more than one host) point to the same RapidPrint 500
queue, the hosts will provide local queueing, but you may still have multiple jobs attempting to
access the RapidPrint 500. In this case, the RapidPrint 500 will provide queueing among the hosts.
Jobs from multiple hosts are handled in order, without regard to size or any priority. This may
explain why a particular host’s queue seems to stop for an extended time.
The Show Queue display on the RapidPrint 500 will show the order of jobs pending on the Rapid-
Print 500. The host’s lp or lpr utilities must be used to show jobs queued by the host.
