I ran into something on Friday that I can't sort out. I have the following setup:
Lanier 2138 RPCS Color Laser (same as Ricoh 3800CMF) Win2k SP4 RPCS driver v 2.67 (most current) Print via Standard TCP/IP Port OpenBSD 3.2/LPRng 3.8.21 OpenBSD 3.4/LPRng 3.8.26 Printcap entries (tried Friday) for the 2138, which seem to work fine for all other print jobs: :[EMAIL PROTECTED]:lpd_bounce :rm=xxx.xxx.xx.xx:rp=lp :lp=xxx.xxx.xx.xx%9100 :lp=xxx.xxx.xx.xx%9100:lpd_bounce=true If I use the above settings, printing the Word 2000 file through either OpenBSD box takes FOREVER to spool the temp file; I can ls the /var/spool/lpd/2138 directory and watch the file dribble in. I tried a 40-page chunk, which resulted in a 56MB job, with NO improvement in speed. It never got to the point where the job actually started to print. It was taking so long, I knew something was amiss and killed the job. I ended up setting up a Standard TCP/IP port directly to the Lanier, to see if it behaved similarly. NOT!!! The job started spitting out as soon as I clicked on the Ok button in the Word print dialogue. It finished printing the 40 pages almost before I got to the printer. My lpd.conf is all defaults on both OpenBSD boxes. All other print jobs seem to print at full speed. What gives?
