Re: How to make printer print faster?
On Wednesday 10 December 2003 11:13, Marco Beishuizen wrote: I got the impression that the printer is processing the data coming from Windows a lot faster than when the data is coming from FreeBSD. I have a similiar issue with a HP LaserJet 4 Plus, which is capable of 12ppm. It's connected to my network using a JetDirect card on 100mbit switch, so speed of the interface shouldn't be an issue. I'm using the hpijs drivers currently. I would also agree that it seems to print more slowly than in Windows. My impression is that the LaserJet 4 is quite an old printer and has a relatively slow processor and therefore seems to spend quite a long time processing each page. I don't know for sure but I think it's just simply that it has to do more processing for UNIX print jobs. E.g. on WIndows it looks something like this: Application PCL - Printer On FreeBSD, mine does something like this: Application - PostScript - PCL - Printer I was wondering if the PCL generated from PostScript was rather more complicated than that generated by the Windows driver and therefore required more processing. also take a look at (misleadingly-named) www.linuxprinting.org. They reccommend the use of the pxlmono driver, and say that it's much faster than others: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_2100 Cheers, Chris Howells ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Vinum and reserved space
Hi, I've just bought 2 x 160GB drives which I want to RAID 1 with vinum. I used /stand/sysinstall to fdisk and disklabel them, mounted them as /temp1 and /temp2 and checked the size of them using 'df' to stick into my vinum.conf file. I'm a bit confused though; the output of df does not include the 8% or whatever of the slice that is reserved for root by default. Therefore I was wondering if I should turn the reserved space down to 0%, check the space using df, and use that in my vinum.conf. The reasoning is that when I run 'newfs /dev/vinum/sauron1', more drive space will be reserved, so I'll have two lots of reserved space on each drive which seems wrong. Currently df -h output looks like this, which isn't too impressive for 160GB drives: /dev/vinum/sauron1 131G 1.0K 120G 0%/vinum vinum.conf looks like: drive alpha device /dev/ad6s1e drive beta device /dev/ad7s1e volume sauron1 setupstate plex org concat sd length 141537128k drive alpha plex org concat sd length 141537128k drive beta Thanks for any ideas...

I'm a bit confused though; the output of df does not include the 8% or whatever of the slice that is reserved for root by default. It looks like it to me. What I mean is that e.g. in the output from df: /dev/vinum/sauron1 149118276 9447 137179367 0%/vinum the 149118276 (k) is the total size of the disk, whereas the 137179367 is the available space ( 149118276 - (8% of 149118276)). I was following the instructions in the Absolute BSD book which now that I've done it I think is confusing. You're confusing Vinum and UFS. Vinum is a virtual disk. UFS is a file system. It's UFS which reserves 8% or so of the file system (not of the slice, which is a term which relates neither to UFS nor to Vinum). If you reserve space on the disk and don't give it to Vinum, Vinum doesn't use it. Period. Right. My confusion was on how to determine the size of the slice to stick into the vinum.conf file... According to Absolute BSD, the right thing to do is to read the 137179367 column, and use that value in vinum.conf. But obviously that isn't using the whole disk because it does not include the 8% of the drive that is set aside for root. In all the example vinum.conf files that I could find, there was a hard-coded size of the vinum drive. Now I think about it more it's obvious. I think. That's because you haven't used all the space. If the drives are the same, use 'length 0' for the subdisks and you'll get all the space in the volume. Aha. I didn't know that you could set 'length 0', didn't see that documented anywhere. That solves all my problems since I don't need to determine the size manually now.

When I had a hardware problem with Dell like this one, they insisted that there could only be a problem if there was an issue with the installed software. If it was self-installed, then it had to be faulty software not hardware. - -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP ID: 33795A2C KDE: http://www.koffice.org, http://printing.kde.org, http://usability.kde.org -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+ZpaYF8Iu1zN5WiwRAgumAJ9WvtaPvE0t5ol0qXKGxwnCteFApQCfX6hh cXpI4cS0GEgon5Yst+wZuSI= =TRKO -END PGP SIGNATURE- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

All I would do before I set that up is to add some RAM to that system. The Celeron 333 based system I use to run KDE 3.1 has 320MB of RAM, and I am even considering an upgrade to 512MB. KDE, ever since 3.0, has been very RAM heavy, I wouldn't run it if I didn't have atleast 256MB RAM. I developed KDE on a P2/300 for quite some time. Run speed was fine, but compiling KDE is a little painful on this speed of machine -- but that's only really an issue if you are trying to run the latest HEAD development version of KDE. - -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP key: http://chrishowells.co.uk/pgp.txt KDE: http://www.koffice.org, http://printing.kde.org, http://usability.kde.org -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+RO6rF8Iu1zN5WiwRAsFvAJ9eixdYOh1UMM+Z+gGUtPkL2FFCmQCgn/3z LjfaFyYmH+d2ycW8WJ1b+90= =VQM9 -END PGP SIGNATURE- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
