- If you are experiencing VERY long times with Windows 286 running
- under LANtastic and using LANtastic's print spooler, try setting
- the CPS option in Net_Mgr, where your printer is defined, to 999
- with LANtastic Version 2.49 or up to 32767. This will cause the
- Server to send data to the printer at that speed even if other
- Server tasks may be requested. You may experience some beeping if
- the traffic is heavy on your server with the CPS setting higher,
- but the added speed will be worth it! If you typically use Windows
- part of the time and switch to other non-windows applications, you
- may wish to define your printer 2 times: once with CPS=0 and a
- second time with CPS=999 (or higher if you are using NOS 2.53).
- In the batch file that loads Windows you can then net unuse the
- printer defined at 0 CPS and net use the one at 999 CPS. When you
- leave Windows you can do the reverse. The reason you may want to
- do this is that with most applications the CPS set to 0 works very
- well and the server isn't forced to spend extra time sending the
- jobs at a certain CPS (see 'Specifying Characters Per Second in the
- LANtastic Users Manual p.6-1.
