CUPS is slow

Van Caeyzeele Wout — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 12:07:12 GMT

I have 2 questions regarding CUPS.
We have a HP-UX IA64 system (Itanium) running HP-UX 11.23
On this system we have CUPS for printing from Oracle Reports or RAW printing.
- 1 printer is very slow in printing 200 jobs (It takes about 1 hour).
- It seems that CUPS is limited till 500 concurrent jobs at a time.

Is there a workaround to have unlimited concurrent jobs and how can I speed up this printer?

Shalom,

Check /var/log/messages

In general, the source of this problem is the printer. More memory might help.

What I have discovered in the page_log is that every 5 seconds a job is processed.

The printer is defined as a RAW printer
