# 6.3. Job Class and Priority

Options used:

- break_classname_priority_link FLAG classname does not set priority

- default_priority=default priority

- ignore_requested_user_priority FLAG ignore requested user priority

The -Cclass information is used placed in the control file; the default class and priority is set by the default_priority option (default A). The first letter of the class information is uppercased and then used as the job priority.

The break_classname_priority_link option causes lpr to place class information in the control file but not to use it to set the job priority. This is usually used in institutions where users should not specify their priority. Finally, the ignore_requested_user_priority is actually used by lpd to ignore the priority requested by users.
