I guess we should avoid the repetition of "capability", though (the fdp-primer,
"writing style" invites us to).
What do you think of something like: " When present, it tells LPD to open the
printer in r/w mode".
My, I'm starting to feel like a fussy guy, now... :-\

(By the way, I read the "that" as a relative, and did not realise the ";" could
be used to separate the two sentences and make "that" a demonstrative).
