Re: comparing windows server vs hp ux server
Where does this difference occurr?
Does this happen when generating the output? Does it happen when Oracle drops the printout off to the printer? Does it happen when sending the output from the server to the printer?
There are lots of variables, any of which could make a difference. Is this 10-14 seconds a big deal? Is the timing of the report critical to your business?

Re: comparing windows server vs hp ux server
* would your HPUX server not printing to the printer directly but using an intermediary (a.k.a. remote printer) ?
* would there be a network issue between hpux server and the printer (as in different subnets with firewalls in between) ?
* if the printer is setup with a symbollic name instead of an ip address, would there be a name resolution issue ?
UNIX because I majored in cryptology...

Re: comparing windows server vs hp ux server
What is the data being printed? Is it simple ASCII text or are there fancy fonts and graphics being generated? Is the printer Postcript only?
This is not a server performance issue. Printers are incredibly slow compared to modern servers.

Re: comparing windows server vs hp ux server
Lots of factors to consider.
The rx6600 system has much more powerful processors, more ram, and a different bus.
The print queue being used in Unix is samba/cifs? That is a different code base than the windows server, which microsoft has been tweaking for years and years.
The oracle application server could be part of the delay as well. Are you using Oracle reports, which uses X/motif to generate output, a wholly different technology than they use on Windows?
You need to limit the scope of this fishing expedition or you will spend a lot of time and get no fish.

Re: comparing windows server vs hp ux server
can you check the "Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds" at the bottom , returned from pinging the printer from windows and 6600, from the machine from where print is being fired.
Regards,
Rahul

Solutionbe somewhat puzzled by a thread which is
devoted entirely to printing, and has a
Subject in which "printing" does not appear.
A subject description which reveals nothing
about the actual subject might easily cause a
reader who _did_ know something about the
subject to skip past the thread. (Only
morbid curiosity caused me to look.)
