The queue created should now be ready to process requests.
The options field specifies which if any of the print options are enabled. The available choices are
listed in Table 10-1.
NOTE: Options must be specified in lowercase characters; multiple options can be specified
separated by commas.
There must be at least one entry in the options field; use the word “None” if no options are
desired. There must also be an entry in the server_hosts file for each RapidPrint 500 print queue
you wish to use. You may have multiple UNIX print queues using the same RapidPrint 500 print
queue (for example, when you want to use different sets of options) but a UNIX print queue can-
not use multiple RapidPrint 500 queues.
Use the lpstat -t command for lp spooling systems or the lpc status command for lpr spooling sys-
tems to make sure the printer was created correctly. For example, if we created printer hp4 on our
lp spooling system, entering the lpstat -t command might display the following information:

Formfeed Formfeeds (ASCII 0xC, Ctrl-L) are appended to the end of
the job. This option should not be used with the PostScript
or Binary options.

A Ctrl-D (ASCII 4) is used to terminate a print job, rather
than the standard formfeed (ASCII 12).
