939.0. "LG12+ && Rapidprint very slow ... DUNIX" by MDR01::ARANCHA (MCS Madrid) Thu Apr 24 1997 09:26

Hi,
    
My customer has a problem with the speed of the LG12plus when it is
connecting by RapidPrint. The speed of the printer is 200 lpm. 
The customer needs to print at 1200 lpm.
This is critical, the bottleneck is in the printer. Because the customer 
needs to print a lof of reports. 
     
The environment is :
	8400 
	4100   
	DUNIX 3.2G
	Trucluster 
	Rapidprinter 200
	LG12+

We're going to connect the printer at 4100. We have two connection one to
parallel port and other to serial port. We'll be doing several tests in
both positions. But the application is on 8400. I think we can connect the 
printer to 8400 if we have a Digiboard. 

The questions are:
- If the printer LG12+ is connect to the Rapid, Is there any problem with
the network or the rapidprint  or the printer or the jumpers of the Rapidprint??
- If I connect the printer to the 4100, only I can see if there is not a 
problem with the printer ???
- How can I connect the printer to the 8400 ? Is it posible with the Digiboard ?

Any idea will be appreciate.

Thanks in the advance,
Arancha
