Re: HP-UX Printing

Andy,

I've never seen 200 print jobs per hour to be a problem on any HPUX system. Unless your system is already at cpu or I/O max from running other applications, databases, etc. from this server, I just can't see that few printouts per hour as an issue. I held up more volume than that back in the early 90's on servers that had to also had to run Oracle Applications, LanManagerX, a GIS Oracle database, onshore and offshore surveying applications, and NFS services across 10baseT coaxial hubs on a server with only two 32bit 75Mhz processors with only 256Mb of ram. Meaning: I don't see how you could possibly have a problem with 200 print jobs per hour. Something else is wrong.


For starters run "top" or better yet "glance" and see if you've got something maxxed out. Run "dmesg" and see if you've got errors. Check your network connections for errors, or misalignment (making sure to match Full Duplex ports on server to Full Duplex ports on the switches, etc).
