Hi with the latest LPR drivers for eCS, printing is very fast, I am impressed, without the updated drivers it is very slow. *IBM Streaming LPR Port Driver* - download update <http://www.ecomstation.com/ecsdb/downloadsoftware.phtml?downloadkey=commondownload&software=133&type=download> Release Date: 08-22-2002 05:10:35 PM Last Update: 05-30-2003 09:53:21 PM *_Overview_: * *Streaming Line PRinter (SLPR.PDR)* is a streaming port driver used to connect your computer to a printer or print server via a TCP/IP connection. The driver uses Line Printer Daemon (LPD) Protocol as specified in RFC 1179. This protocol is an almost universal way to send print data to printers and servers. It is meant to be used as a alternative to the \PIPE\LPD0 (henceforth LPD0) port driver which is shipped with OS/2. Some advantages of SLPR.PDR: * Faster Thruput:Data can be sent to the printer almost as soon as it is generated as compared to the LPD0 driver which needs to wait until all the printer job is generated before it is sent. - * Simpler Setup:The LPD0 driver requires a separate program (LPD.EXE) be up and running before it will work. Since the LPD progranter directly it has the status - not the spooler. - * Better Error Handling:With LPD0 any problems are reported via LPD program and not the spooler. With SLPR thooler so error recovery is more intelligent. * User Specified Time-outs:With LPD the default is to wait indefinitely so out of paper or printer jams are not noticed for a long time. With SLPR, any waits longer than the user specified tim-out generates an easy to see pop-up notification. - * SLPR can have up to 64. *_Requirements_:* Users must be at eCS 1.0x, fixpack 2 or higher.

How is the printing performance using IP, Vaughn? ___ Lewis ___ Lewis G Rosenthal Rosenthal & Rosenthal Sent via SnapperMail ...... Original Message .......

I guess I have been doing that here in our office since NW6.5 came out. I don't use any component of Netware for printing, just straight IP printing directly to printers we are using a range of printers, printing to Kyocera Photocopier, HP 4500 Color printer, HPIIID, and Kycera color printer. All IP Vaughn Lewis G Rosenthal wrote: In case anybody has been wondering, NetWare 6.5 (running IPX on the wire, of course) works just fine with the 2.12 requester. In fact, eDirectory 8.7.3 works flawlessly, with everything browsable (well, everything one might expect to be browsable when using an NDS browser from 1997). -- ----- Novell Engineer Summit Technology Group http://www.stechgroup.ca Virden, MB.
