Very large print jobs choke when sent from Win98 to a networked printer.
I haven't narrowed down to too-large size, but a ~100MB file seems OK,
while a ~160MB file will fail to print. The jobs are always in PostScript
format, so I can't say if the problem occurres with non-PS files.
There are many steps in printing a file, so many potential culprits for
this failure:
1. File is sent from Win98 to Samba
2. Samba spooler sends file to lpd spooler
3. File is run through RedHat printfilter/printconf scripts
4. File is sent to HP Color LaserJet 4500 printer (via Ethernet)
5. File is spooled within printer (192MB installed) for printing
Notes:
1. All software noted above is Seawolf + RH-released updates.
2. There is more than enough disk space for holding 2 copies of the file
(1 copy in Samba spool directory and another in lpd spool dir).
3. A failed print job appears as a zero-lenth file in the lpd spooler
and the printer indicates (via LCD display) that it wants to be reset.
Can anyone help me to determine where my problem is? Thanks.
