SYMPTOMS
========
It takes longer to print to an LPR printer over TCP from an NT Workstation that
it does from a mini-computer.
CAUSE
=====
Windows NT uses delays in the conversation with the printer for compatibility
with older versions of SunOS.
RESOLUTION
----------
In Windows NT version 3.51, the delay feature is off by default. You can use the
following registry parameter to enable the delays:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\
Monitors\LPR Port\Ports\<printer>\Timeouts
OldSunCompatibility : REG_DWORD : 1
By default, the parameter is missing and the system uses 0 (no delay).
STATUS
------
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. This
problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.
