Description of Problem: After updating RH 6.2 to RH 7.0 printing on an Oki 395 printer became slow. Printing stops after 3 or 4 jobs and goes idle for a few minutes before printing other 3 or 4 jobs. I'm sending 10-20 jobs to the printer at once. Before (on RH 6.2) it did not happen. The printer is connected through a 3 port HP Jetdirect and has a small 23K buffer. Another printer connected (Brother laser) works fine (has a bigger buffer). In de "status.printer" file I see a wait 287 (seconds?). Is it possible to reduce the waiting time for one specific printer? Or increase de timeout period for a specific printer? How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
Does this still happen? Which kernel are you using now (uname -r)?
It still happens uname -r: 2.2.16-22
Please upgrade to 2.2.19-7.0.1 and see if it still happens. (2.2.19-7.0.1 fixes some security problems, so you should upgrade anyhow.)
Updated the firmware of HP JetDirect EX plus 3. Problem did not occur last 3 days. Did not update the kernel (takes to much time to get the right rpm's. If problem occurs again I will update to RH 7.1. Thanks for the assistance.
