Send print job to printer immediately without queueing, aka increase print performance

view story
linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I have a ruby/rails web application, one action of which sends PDF files that have been generated by the app to a Xerox 4170 printer on the network. This is accomplished via shelling out and running multiple lpr commands (to default print queue, using -s to prevent spooling copies and -o InputSlot to identify the tray). The PDF's cannot be combined into one single doc/printjob because they are sent to different trays depending on file specifics and the color of paper needed. A "cycle" might consist of 15k or more pages, sent to the printer in batches of 20 or 30 up to several hundred at a time (HowTos)

Networked printer problem 2 years 42 weeks ago

Hello all

I'm having trouble getting my networked printer to print and am hoping someone can lend some advice. I'm running openSUSe 11.3 on a laptop and the printer is connected to my desktop which is running Windows XP. I have the printer and several folders and drives shared. I can see the folders and drivers on my laptop but I cannot get the printer to actually print.

I am using 12.04 64 bit. I have noticed if I configure (connect) any printer when my machine is connected to Lan (eth port) then it takes print job only if I am connected to Lan. If I try any printing job on wifi, it gets stuck in the print queue.

I have a Netgear WNDR4500 wireless router which allows me to print wirelessly to a printer connected to it via a USB cable.

All right, this is driving me nuts.

I have an HP Color LaserJet cm1312nfi connected to the ethernet jack on a D-Link DPR-1260 wireless usb print server - so the print server acts as a wireless bridge. I can't get any Ubuntu box to print to the LaserJet. Windows XP and Vista laptops on the network print to it just fine.

[ubuntu] hp laserjet 1020 3 years 30 weeks ago

I'm having trouble with my HP Laserjet 1020. I'm running Karmic beta, but had the same problem under Jaunty...

If I plug the printer in, it seems to install fine. It uses the Foomatic driver. To print, I have to uncheck "sharing".

I have an HP Photosmart B210 this is a e-print printer capable of printing via wifi, I'm using this printer in Google cloud print, however there is a downside, the software that comes with it is only for Windows, so to print anything I'm using my Android device.

Transferring the file to my phone, then with HP's app or Cloud print app send the job to the printer which honestly is not that hard but

AIX Print Queue 27 weeks 5 days ago

I am trying to print from Aix 6.1 using a remote queue to a Brother 7360N All in one, I can see the printer, but only output is blank pages.

When I first turn on my PC and then the first time I print a page it takes about 6 minutes to start printing. After that it will print right away. If I go to printer configuration, view print Queue, Release it will print right away. I think there is some place to set it to print right away.I just can't find where. I am 1 PC and 1 printer using Ubuntu 6.10. Thanks Johnny3

[ubuntu] printer activation 31 weeks 2 days ago

graphical interface successfully located my epson stylus 110 printer and downloaded the drivers. I printed a ubuntu test page. The green light is on-on my printer, but when I select something to print, and see the logo "print executing" and and the bar completed, it doesn't print. On the print queue behind the above printer logo, it says " printer stopped ".
