Re: LPRng: SLOW spooling of Word file containing 225 pgs of scann ed docs
Jim, Here's a note I posted to this list a while ago. Perhaps it is relevant to your problem. I ended up changing the push bit timeout from 200ms to 50ms on my AIX server. That sped up job transfer by a factor of four. -Rick Rick Cochran wrote: Here's a good one. Due to a performance problem with Samba, I encouraged all my users to switch to Microsoft's WinXP LPR, only to find that it was taking a factor of five longer to send print jobs to the server. Here's what's happening: An LPR transfer from Linux consists of a steady stream of packets with 1460 data bytes each. An LPR transfer from WinXP LPR consists of groups of 21 packets with 1460 bytes followed by a packet of 1340 bytes with the push bit set (total bytes = 30,000). The server responds to the push bit by waiting .2 seconds before sending an ack. All these waits slow the transfer down by a factor of 5 (on a 10Mb net). This is covered in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=816627 (ie. Be happy, it used to be worse). I would like a high quality alternative to Microsoft's LPR. Since our out-of-band Kerberos authentication method is likely to go away soon (because of NATs), I would _really_ like to have Kerberized LPR.

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... Jim Ummm... given the large number of Good/Nice/Solid printers, have you considered donating this to an enemy? Patrick (An enemy is a friend that has to use this printer) Powell [%-) Actually, I'm pretty happy with it-once I figured out which drivers setup to use and which drivers setup to avoid, it's been very stable and productive. From a maintenance standpoint, it's fast/easy to swap out the fuser oil units, toner, photoconductors, etc. I only call out the vendor service when it's a major job, or the you break it, you pay for it variety. I call it The Chipper...feed trees in at one end, and print jobs spit out the other. I just thought of something- is this print path defective, as far as sending to port 9100 on the Lanier? samba1==LPRng server Win2k: Standard TCP/IP Port, custom: lpr, prints to [EMAIL PROTECTED] samba1: [EMAIL PROTECTED] works fine lanier%9100 doesn't I'll try using raw/port 9100 on the Win2k client and lanier%9100 in the printcap and let you know how it goes... It didn't...a Win2k printer test page won't print via raw/port 9100. It times out. If I change the port config to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it prints right away. It will print if I point the raw/port 9100 to the lanier's IP, vice the lpd on samba1. I'm not worried about using %9100; I'm concerned about the long time it takes to spool the large jobs. I've read Rick Cochran's msg, but can't seem to find where I'd change the timeout on my OpenBSD box. Rick, if you see this, could you point me in the right direction? If it's on the Win2k clients (all SP4), let me know where the reg setting is.
