Create and install backend filter program, or set up a named pipe and start the RTELPD daemon pro-
cess. For instructions on how to do this, consult the README files in the newly-installed RTEL di-
rectory.
7.3.3 Queueing with the RTEL Software
A job can be queued by the host’s print system (lp, lpr, and others) or by the Server itself. If you are only
printing to one queue from one host to one Server service, the queueing is provided by the host; it will not
release a new job to the Server until the previous job has completed.
When multiple print queues (possibly on more than one host) point to the same Server queue, the hosts will
provide local queueing, but you may still have multiple jobs attempting to access the Server. In this case,
the Server will provide queueing among the hosts. Jobs from multiple hosts are handled in order, regardless
of size or priority. This may explain why a particular host’s queue seems to stop for an extended time.
The Show Queue display on the Server will show the order of jobs pending on the Server. The host’s lp or
lpr utilities must be used to show jobs queued by the host.
7.3.4 Setting up the RTEL Backend Filter
RTEL backend filters are designed to work with BSD, SYSV, and AIX type printing subsystems. The
backend filter simply accepts data from the queue manager and moves that data over the network to the
terminal/print server.
To set up the RTEL backend filter,

Become superuser.
