Hi Everyone: Just wanted to give a follow-up to my print issues. I had to rush a bit to get the app tested and into production using 5.0.
Thanks to Phil, I found that TextLayout had a bug (4480930) and was the primary reason for the large spool files. The bug was fixed in 1.5 and reduced my spool files to the following: Printer Original Spool Final Spool HP LJ 4100 4MB ~840K HP LJ 4200 12MB ~440K The suggestions that Karen made about disabling advanced printing helped greatly on JDK 1.4 shrinking both spools by 50% (~2MB and ~6MB respectively) but had no effect when using JDK 5. The 4100 spool is still a bit large, but the users are happy for now since it takes about 1/3 of the time in most cases. I also found that, for whatevever reason, the PCL 6 dirvers were slower to spool (and sometimes would fail) on the 4100. I switched to the PCL 5e drivers and spooling was much faster and always worked. Many thanks to Phil, Karen, and Mars for their input. Mars, Originally had the server set up on RedHat Enterprise. Application would not print to a printer other than the default. I'm not a Linux guru like I would like to be, so I suppose our sysadmin could have configured it incorrectly. They would prefer that I use RedHat. Any thoughts?
