Once a > month we have to print about 100 short print jobs (less than 1 page) on a > matrix printer. After 20 - 30 jobs, the printer buffer is full and the > printer does not accept further jobs for several seconds. The jobs are now > correctly kept in the printer queue. > The problem is, that the period of time between the printout of the following > jobs takes longer and longer. > To overcome this problem, we added a "sleep 7" to our batch job so that the > printer is faster than the delivery of the text to print. > > I think that this behaviour is problem in the lprng scheduler. > > Does anyone know how to solve the problem? > > Bernd > > > -- > Bernd Rudack > Siemens ICN VD CC > Security & Directory Services > Kruppstr. 16, D-45128 Essen, Tel.: +49 201 816 3281 > e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > PGP: > RSA 1024 0x9665B817 2000/10/31 Rudack, Bernd; ZZZZZMOP Siemens > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Key fingerprint = E0 73 A1 47 30 08 D7 56 09 80 F4 BB 3E BD D4 77
Try using the connnect_grace period. It sets a minimum interval between jobs being sent. Was developed EXACTLY to handle this problem.
