LPRng: Max jobs per queue

2004-03-12 Thread Russell Adams
Historically, I've noticed that a queue can't hold more than 999 jobs. Does this still hold true for more recent versions? I've looked through lpd.conf and didn't see any parameters to allow longer queues... Is there a way to expand the queue length? Russell

Hmmm, going back to this problem we see when print queues get large and the print server load is extremely high, can anyone explain why this happens (for technical info see previous messages in this thread - I won't repost it all here). We run student labs and times like today, where assignments

LPRng: Xerox Document Centre C460

2004-03-12 Thread Sam Warren
I have a Xerox Document Centre C460 in a remote plant. I print a large job (200 to 500 pages) to this printer each morning. The job comes from my mainframe to my print server. Then my print server sends it across the network to this printer. The printer used to be connected through a Novell queue.

It is the same problem we and quite a few other people are having. If you have the HP 8150 printers there is a new firmware upgrade for them that might solve the problem. Otherwise I really don't know what to tell you. On Fri, 12 Mar 2004, Toby Blake wrote: Hmmm, going back to this problem we

What kind of chooser are you running? Old versions of LPRng would run the chooser script/program once for every job in the queue, every time it checked. This meant the longer the queue, the longer the load, the longer the time to run the chooser, the more the queue growing and so on.. Running

No filtering is being done, and the Print Processor is set to raw on the Win2k box. If these hints do not help we need to find out whether the problem is related to transfering the print job from the PC to the server or to sending from server to printer. It's from the Win2k PC to the
