6.14. FQDN Host Information
Options used:
-
force_fqdn_hostname FLAG Update control file with FQDN name
-
force_ipaddr_hostname FLAG Update control file with IP address of remote host
-
use_shorthost FLAG short control and data file names
Some lpr clients do not put a FQDN host name in their control file. The force_fqdn_hostname flag will cause lpd to put a FQDN host name in the control file. This option will assume that the domain is where the connection originated from.
Similarly, the force_ipaddr_hostname flag will cause lpd to put a FQDN host name in the control file.
Some systems cannot handle FQDN hostnames in control and data file formats. The use_shorthost option will send control and data files with very short names to the remote print server.
