| 453665 | 2006-05-10 06:27:00 | I am runing a lexmark laser printer connected to a PC which accesses a database on a linux server. When I try to print using spooling it fails to work; when spooling is unchecked it works ok. Is that to do with a server setting? Any ways of fixing that so I can use print spooling? | bpt2 (6653) | ||
| 453666 | 2006-05-10 06:42:00 | I doubt very much whether the database server knows or cares what the PC is doing with the data. ;) I'd look at the printer interface. I suspect it might be on a parallel port, set for the traditional one way protocol. Make sure it's set to ECP or EPP (or "ECP/EPP") in the BIOS. I'm not sure wheteher spooling requires use of an interrupt but I suspect it would. The original IBM parallel interface didn't handle interrups very well at all. The later protocols should do it OK. (Interrupt is more likely the problem, not the single/bi directional mode). |
