Maybe there's a background conversation going on between the server and the lpr daemon on the Lanier that is slowing things down? Or maybe one isn't taking place, but should be?
lanier==xxx.xxx.xx.xx from prev msgs... The good flow, as I see it: Current setup, working fine. SLOW on the big job of scanned pages. Win2k client-->LPRng server LPRng server-->:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (works fine for most jobs) The SmartNet Monitor reports full job status; file name, user, date/time, status, user id. The bad flow: Win2k client-->LPRng server :lp=lanier%9100 or :lp:lp=lanier%9100 (per your previous msg) If I use lanier%9100, the jobs seem to print, but all of the info (file name, user, machine) that shows up with [EMAIL PROTECTED] is missing. spooling takes a lot longer, too. Don't know about the big job, as it's not ready to be printed again. The Lanier is a Ricoh Aficio 3800CMF rebranded. It's internal print firmware is fragile and poorly implemented. Printing PS3 directly to any of the various embedded print servers corrupts the queue listing, and eventually the printer won't accept any new jobs. Warm booting the printer 3-4 times a day gets to be annoying real fast. I've had to reformat the internal hard drive a couple of times in order to clean out all of the gremlins. AFAIK, I'm running the most recent firmware...
