Slow Remote LP

[dunstan]

Hi,
I have setup the remote lp printer using sam. But when I print big file (5MB), it takes very long time to print. even most offten get timeout and the printer goes down (lpstat shows disable).

I tried to FTP the 5MB file and it takes over 5 minutes.
Already I have checked the NIC and it was configuard to 100HD but the switches are 100FD.

Appart from the NIC, what else i can check on rlp?
Please help me.

In your other thread, you were trying to get the NIC set to 100FD, did you ever get that resolved?

"Appart from the NIC, what else i can check on rlp?"

Basically, not really. 100HD trying to talk to 100FD is *not* good. If you can't fix the NIC, you'll need to get the switch adjusted....

Hi,
I have got the patch (PHNE_17000) now. But i am not allowed to put in the Live system without testing. So I am going to test on the test system first. However I have to buy NIC (100FD Supportable) for the test system.
I have ordered one and waiting for it.
I beleive this is the right card according to the supplier.
