Hi, we have some setup working here to spool over a slow network line (GSM, GPRS). It works as expected, Server is an AIX box that compresses the data with some compressor, and the client runs LPRng (3.8.9) and has one queue with a filter that creates plain postscript from this, and then prints to a second queue with ghostscript (for canon bjc 80) as filter.
This works as expected, the server issues a print job and the client prints this. The only problem is: It starts to print after the server transferred the complete job to the client, so if we have some 5 pages to print it transfers the 5 pages, and the canon bjc starts to print after the whole thing got transferred. So the canon sits there for some minute while it cold have printed the (already received) pages. Does lprng support to filter print jobs (and forward them to the printer!) while the job isn't completely received? I searched the documentation for this and didn't find some clear answer. If yes, must I activate this somewhere? I also read about 'Control file after Data'. Maybe the AIX does this - how can I find out if it does this?
