TCP/IP LPD benchmark

[Jerome Draper <jdraper@xxxxxxx>]

We have just gotten benchmark news on a 147 page report (straight text)
printing on an AS400 via TCP/IP.

Situation One:  

AS/400 model 200, unstressed, V3R2, HP 3X Printserver (TCP/IP aware
product) on ethernet LAN, 10baseT, with HP Laserjet 4Plus printer.  It took
3.5 hours and never got done (59% CPU util).  Host print transform
dramatically impacted the AS/400.

Situation Two:  

Synapse WinAPPC TCP/IP LPD Client started printing the report after 3
minutes.  This is because of the ability of the Synapse to handle SCS print
strings in native mode.

Only change on the AS400 outq is to make Transform to *NO and destination
type to *OS400.

Installed by inexperienced user to boot.

HMMMMMM.
