Re: 4 seconds pause before printing

["Mgr. Peter Tuharsky" <tuharsky@misbb.sk>]

Hi, Claudia.

Thank You for advice, I'll check it but this probably is not the issue. 
I'm not sure whether CUPS starts from inetd, I presume not, but the 
pause before printing is EXACTLY SAME everytime. About 4 secs. The 
machine is powerfull enough (AthlonXP1900+) and starting the print 
daemon surely dosen't take him so long. Mainly the second time and 
later, when it should be already in cache. The start of OpenOffice.org 
is faster ;o)

The printer timeout dosen't affect this problem, I checked this. I'll 
try again however.

And it dosen't depend on machine nor printer! Maybe it depends on the 
version of CUPS, cause I use Debian Woody everywhere.

What is really interesting: the pause appears ONLY if printing from 
DOSEMU. Oter print jobs start immediately.

Thank You again.
