If I attempted to go four pages wide, the plot would fail. I have printed larger maps with an HP C. Depending on the operating system, it might be better to use an older printer driver, say one from about or if they are available.
Your client might also want to try to just print the map window rather at the desired size, rather than the Layout window. This might isolate any potential bugs with printing a Layout window. Ian Tidy. Bill Ian is right we use a HPc and print maps over meg do not use a print spooler. When this has happen to me, I go "old school". I check print to file and then use DOS commands to copy to the plotter. If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
Honored Contributor. I dont't think there is a built in functionality in lp. It is a bit of a hassle to remember to define the disk quota each time a new user is added, but seemed to be the only way to prevent run away print jobs. Wow Sebastien, I think you went a little too far when a good slap would have sufficed: "I killed the user Something you can report to DAN in the forum issues..
HTH, Shiju Life is a promise, fulfill it! Unfortunately, quotas won't work for lp as all jobs are owned by lp, not the original user. If you put in a print job you want to cancel or is deleting but never actually leaves the queue do this:. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.

As another example, if Branch Office Direct Printing is turned on in Windows Server , and there is a heavy mixture of Windows 8 clients, performance is improved.
Windows 8 performs client-side rendering that offloads the processing to the client instead of to the server. Then it routes the job directly to printer, instead of passing it through a centralized print server, which reduces network traffic.
The default rendering options that are used by Windows Server R2 and Windows Server are described in the following table. Because of the various advantages of the v4 printer driver, administrators are encouraged to promote a client mixture that uses Windows 8.
In situations where the enterprise has a large number of Windows 7 users, the effect of server-side rendering could require additional benchmarking to ensure acceptable performance.
For client devices that run on ARM processor architecture, we encourage the use of v4 printer drivers to take advantage of the various benefits of the Print and Document Services architecture. For more information, see Print and Document Services Architecture. In Windows 8 and Windows Server , Microsoft introduced a new iteration of the printer driver model, called the v4 printer driver.
This driver model addresses gaps in the previous version and it offers a wide range of advantages. Because the v4 printer driver model has fewer components that cause heavy server processing, there is a lower server load when a v4 printer driver is used with Windows 8.
Because Windows 7 clients always use server-side rendering with the v4 printer drivers, more processing occurs on the server. For more information, see V4 Printer Driver.
When server-side rendering is used, the server handles the conversion of the job to device-ready PDL. The amount of processing for each print job is hard to predict because it depends on the content of each print job.
For complex jobs, such as documents with extensive graphics, documents in PDF format, or documents with multiple types of fonts, more CPU processing is required, as compared to a simple text document.
If client-side rendering is used, the processing occurs on the client-side, and it does not present additional workload to the server. Given the computing capabilities of devices in the market, we recommend using the client-side rendering configuration when possible.
They require fewer resources than a printer that uses a low-end raster-based image editor. High-end printers generally have built-in hard disk drives and memory. This allows them to process a print job without a protracted spooling process and the associated disk utilization. In contrast, less expensive printers generally have less processing power and internal memory, and they require more processing and disk space on the print server.
The network bandwidth and storage for Print Server can be affected by printing related factors including the number, size, and frequency of print jobs. For example, using Print Server with high-frequency smaller jobs has a different storage requirement than using Print Server with large print jobs. If Print Server is configured to save print jobs after printing, additional storage is required and this requirement needs to be considered for the deployment.
As with any computing environment, more cores on a processor and more memory enables more computing output. Depending on enterprise requirement and the budget that is available, this is an important factor that administrators should consider when making decisions about deployment.
With the trend toward server consolidation using virtualization, it is common to see print servers running in a virtualization environment.
Although there is no functional difference between a print server on a virtual machine and a physical print server, there can be a significant difference in the scalability factor based on the hardware requirements and specifications. Performance needs to be evaluated based on the allocated number of cores and memory. On physical print servers, the print job offloads processing to the GPU to expedite completion when it uses a v4 printer driver and supports the XPS rasterization service.
On virtual machines, this behavior does not occur due to the absence of a GPU. To verify if a particular v4 printer driver supports the XPS rasterization service, administrators can check the manifest file for the driver package. Specifically, you need to check the filter pipeline configuration XML file.
For more information, see Filter Pipeline Configuration File. You might also review the details on the XPS rasterization service usage tree. Administrators can also add failover clustering to their print service by using the standard clustering strategy.
For more information, see:. Depending on the state of Print Server, excessive page fault can occur due to memory paging during high print activities. To minimize this issue, we recommend that administrators store the print spool folder on a drive that is separate from the drive that hosts the operating system and page files.
