The school just bought an HP LaserJet 2430dtn printer for the lab
I was wondering the best way to set it up with K12LTSP. It comes with
an embedded print server via JetDirect and 64 MB ram. I configured it,
I think. Plugged it into the network with network cable. my test
server (4.4.0 beta) I established a connection to the printer using the
ip address I set up on the printer
It prints. If I set it up to share/print, all the work is going through
the server, right? Last year, when huge print jobs were sent to a
printer attached directly to the server via parallel port, the printing
used up major resources according to TOP.
I was hoping that if the server conncects to the printer via TCP/IP that
jobs would basically pass through the server and most of the processing
would be done on the printer itself. Would that reduce the load I saw
with the old printer directly connected via parallel to the server?
