# 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.
