- Hi!:
- I am having a little problem here that I hope that someone out there
- can help me solve. We are running NW 3.11 on our 386DX file server, and have
- not had any problems with it. Where I am running into problems is with our
- dedicated DOS print server. We are currently using PSERVER.EXE v1.23 (or
- 1.26 - I can't remember off the top of my head) running on a 286 machine.
- The 286 is a no-frills machine (no extra memory, small HDD, etc.).
- What is happening is that print jobs are taking FOREVER to print.
- If I go into pconsole and look at the printer status, I can see the % complete
- for the current job. On the printers on this print server, this number
- changes very slowly (i.e. 21.3, 21.7, 21.89, etc. with anywhere from 3 to 5
- seconds between changes in the numbers). This means that it takes about an
- hour to print a single page on one of the printers. This performance is
- totally unacceptable, and I really can't figure out what is wrong. (I have
- configured the printers with a 20K buffer and using interrupts.)
- Can anyone out there help me out?? I am in a bind, and with finals
- upon us, the students are beating down my door. Help! Any information at
- all will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
