RE: Performance hit for Remote outqs?

[vhamberg@xxxxxxxxx]

IIRC, one kind of printing sends the
overlays/fonts/document once, and it's stored at the
printer (IPDS). LPR/LPD printing (remote outqs AND
DEVDs, I think) have to send the whole thing, even for
multiple copies. This takes up more bandwidth.

Could be mixed up on specifics, but general idea is
valid.

I haven't looked - does the Performance Capabilities
manual discuss this? Printing XX redbooks probably do,
too.
