Re: Printing question
Does the print file generation take a long time on the linux server or is the slowness in the transfer to the printer? You could just change lp=/tmp/outfile and time the output. You would first have to touch /tmp/outfile and run checkpc -f. Joel > After observing the behavior with top, it appears that the "pagination" > is occurring back at the ghostscript level.

After observing the behavior with top, it appears that the "pagination" is occurring back at the ghostscript level. Any idea how to alter this behavior? Cups doesn't appear to have any customizing options - only choice of dithering, page size, and banners. The cups admin menu doesn't have any options that I can find, either. laserjet 100 is a selectable option under cups admin, but I didn't see any options there either. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area WWTLRD? - ELX rc1 with xfce and sylpheed ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

Re: Printing question
This sort of sounds like a memory problem. Knowing nothing, I would venture that there may be a misunderstanding between your printer and your server over how much memory is available on the printer (making most of this up.) Also, what does top show during this long printing job? Can you just dump a postscript job to this printer? Or, can you first filter the job into a file, watching how long it takes, and then just cat the file to the printer?

Same for me. CUPS works great.

Printing question
Is the following action a) typical of unix printing in general b) typical of cups c) typical of ghostscript interpreting ps for a laserjet d) result of screwed up config options Whenever I print something that is longer that a page or two, the printing trickles to the printer in page bursts, ie deliver a page to the printer, delay, deliver another page to the printer. On Windows the entire data stream gets dumped to the printer, and printing is continuous. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area WWTLRD? - ELX rc1 with xfce and sylpheed ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
