RE: TCP/IP problems with congested line

[Konrad Underkofler <kdunderk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oliver,

The one solution I saw documented quite awhile ago was
to set the timeout on the printer or jetcard to 0,
effectively turning off buffering while establishing
a more direct connection. Never tried it though and
it may vary by printer or connection type on the remote
end.

We also don't use overlaid printer files with remote
sites because of the extreme size of them. One 30 page
report we tracked was about 32mb in size, tough to
transmit over slow lines. For the future we are looking
at converting our large remote reports to adobe pdf to
shrink them in size by a huge factor and then just email
them.
