Options used:
ab FLAG always print banner
sh FLAG suppress header (banner)
The legacy or vintage BSD pretty printing facility support allowed users to specify the title (-T title), indentation (-i indent), width (-i indent) of output for pretty printing. These probably will not have any effect, but their values are placed in the control file and sent to the lpd server.
The job name (-J name) and no banner page (-h) literals also cause information to be placed in the control file. The -J value is used to specify a job name on a banner page, and is placed in the control file. The -h (no header) has the strange effect of not putting banner name information in the control file. Apparently, if you do not have a name for your banner then no name will be sent.
If the :sh option is explicitly specified in a printcap entry for the lpr client, then it has the effect of the -h literal. However, the :ab (Always Print Banner) option can be used on the print server to always force a banner to be printed even if the user does not specify a banner.
Finally, the -R literal allows additional accounting information to be placed in the control file.
