Slow Network Printing from MS-DOS-Based Programs

Source: Microsoft.com
Article ID: 140036

SYMPTOMS

When you print from an MS-DOS-based program, it may take from 60 to 90 seconds before printing begins, causing the program to pause. Quitting the program causes printing to begin immediately.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if the MS-DOS-based program does not close the printer port. By default, Windows 95 waits 45 seconds after the program stops sending information before printing the document.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, add the following lines to the appropriate sections of the System.ini file, and then restart your computer:
  [Network]
PrintBufTime=10

[IFSMGR]
PrintBufTime=10
NOTE: If the [Network] or [IFSMGR] sections do not exist in the System.ini file, add the sections after the [386Enh] section of the file.

These settings are in seconds. The lower the value you use, the sooner the document is printed. If you do not receive any printout, or documents are printed over multiple pages, the settings may be too low. Increase the settings until documents are printed correctly.

APPLIES TO
Microsoft Windows 95
Microsoft Windows 98 Standard Edition
