Re: Remote outq vs. *DEVD

Absolutely, that is better. I wondered if the additional capabilities
provided by using a *DEVD came at a cost of lower performance. The
remote output queue method does not guarantee that a document is
actually printed. I had an issue where a Lexmark was just discarding
printed output sent via LPR when it was busy. Made for unhappy people
when output disappeared and they didn't know it had even been sent.

One thing that is different is the *devd better supports page range printing.  I like to think of it as being "smarter" than LPR.

Is there any performance difference between using remote outq and a
*DEVD for printing?  There are complaints where I work of output
taking "too long" to be produced from the i.  Another system that
sends postscript data seems to print faster.  Printers are Lexmark
Optra.
