7070.0. "Windows NT 4.0 and DEClaser 5100" by NCMAIL::LEFFLERM () Tue Feb 04 1997 13:14

    I have been having a difficult time getting a DEClaser 5100 and NT to
    work together properly since upgrading to 4.0. Any file with any kind
    of significant graphics chokes after a few pages with postscript
    errors.
    
    When I set the resolution to be 300dpi from the printing application,
    the results are somewhat better but still error-prone. 
    
    The printer has 6MB of memory, and is shared on a network. When print
    jobs are directed to it from a win95 client, the output is fine
    consistently. 
    
    Anyone have any ideas as to which settings to tweak under winNT?

    Page protection is the first one I would think of. What kind of
    PostScript errors are you seeing?
7070.2TIMEOUTNCMAIL::LEFFLERMTue Feb 04 1997 22:009
    I'm getting timeout errors. The Job Timeout is set to 60 seconds & Wait
    timeout is at 240. It seems to me that these are fairly high already. 
    
    Another question: Settings such as graphics resolution, page protect,
    etc. all seem to be individually set from the application's print
    applet. Is there a way to set these globally? I don't see them under
    printer properties.

    Try setting the job timeout to 0.
    
    You can globally change settings by going to the Document Defaults
    dialog box. Right-click the printer in the Printers window and select
    Document Defaults. Go to the Advanced pane and exaine the Graphic and
    Document Options trees.
