SUMMARY
=======
You can set several parameters from the command line to speed up networked
printings on MS-DOS workstations when PRINTSTA is loaded. Type "PRINTSTA"
(without the quotation marks) at the command line to see which parameters it is
currently using, or "PRINTSTA /?" (without the quotation marks) for a brief
description of each.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The parameters most useful for speeding up printing are:
- /T (set this to 1)
- buffers (set this to 1024 [default = 128])
- /i (you can assign whatever value you want to this, but setting it too high
can cause problems. If you change it and problems develop, look to it first
as a probable cause.)
Giving your protocol stack more NCBs seems to help. You need at least 8 for the
stack to function properly, 12 is better, and if a lot of people are trying to
connect at the same time you may want even more.
