Print Process Attributes
You define the attributes of a print process with the SPOOLCOM PRINT command.
Any print process attributes not specified in the PRINT command take a default value.

Table 15-4. Print Process Attributes and PRINT Subcommands (page 1 of 2)
SPOOLCOM PRINT
Attributes and Subcommands
Description and Default Value
BACKUP backup-cpu The processor that runs the print process backup. This
attribute is used for user-written, independent print
processes only.
An independent print process is one that is running when
the spooler is started. The spooler does not start it and
assumes that it is always running.
Print processes supplied by Compaq do not run as process
pairs, so the BACKUP subcommand is ignored.
CPU cpu The processor that runs the print process; by default the
same processor as the supervisor.
DEBUG [ OFF ] Sets the Debug mode of the print process (default is Debug
OFF). Print processes should never run in Debug mode on
a production spooler.
