A guy (miket) on a site not connected to the internet wanted
me to ask this. I am sorry if it's vague - that's the
way I got it...
LPR NOW TAKING A LONG TIME
--------------------------
Apparently miket has a few sgi indigo's that print via lpd/lpr
to a printer on a decstation, and all has worked well for
the past 9 months or so.
Now, in configuring BIND on his site, he changed from using
hostnames to be using fully qualified names (domain names
attached to the end of the hostnames). Now, he finds that
to print something, it can take several minutes whereas
it used to take just seconds. It sounds to me like something
is timing out, but he says that he has checked everything
he can think of, and asked me to convey this situation to
the net. The thing to note is that the print jobs still
complete, so it's seems not to be a "permissions" problem.
Everything else works at the same speed as they used to.
If anyone else has come across this problem, could they
please email miket@vislab.su.edu.au
thanks,
ben.
