I trying to use a Linux box as a print server.
I have three printers (An HP Laserjet 4, An HP Designjet 750c, and an Epson
Stylus 3000). They all have IP cards in them, so they are on the network;
but I have configured them like they were attached to a linux server.
Thus, users are printing to these from Apple MACs (using atalk) and
MS Windows (using samba).
This system prints small files (<16mb) fine; but the print system hangs
whenever anyone prints a large file (say 16-100 mb); and can not be
freed until we manually clear the print queues and restart lpd.
This seems to happen no matter which printer we use.
This seems to happen regardless of where the print file comes from.
(At least, I believe this is the case.)
HELP -- WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM???
I welcome any ideas.
