Subject: [os2genau] ubject: [OT] HP Laserjet 5 PCL printer memory

G'Day from the Coat-Hanger City, <g>..

I've got a HP Laserjet 5 PCL printer that (unfortunately), I'm printing
a lot of bitmap documents to.
I'm wondering if putting more memory into it will speed it up, or is
more memory really only used for processing complex PCL, (vector), jobs.

Will definitely speed up your jobs - memory will hold more of the print job - esp if it's bitmaps.

It will, meaning print speed will come closer to waht specs are saying.

Adding more memory to a laser printer will increase the amount that
can be stored in it. Early lser printers were sometimes called page 
printers, in so much s they would form the page in memory and then
print it out in one go. With limited memory in these printers you could 
get your page with graphic appearing half printed in one page and
then the other half printed on the next page. Often the only way
to get a complete page to print was to drop the printer resolution
down from say 300 DP to 150 DPI, which of course caused a 
reduction in print quality - graphics and text.

Whether lser printers now a days still use the same method or not
I don't know. Perhaps some use the excess memory as some sort
of print buffer, which won't speed up the printing but it will 
release the PC earlier for other work.

Subject: [os2genau] hpfs0312.zip on Testcase

While getting the latest kernel from Testcase happened across a file
called hpfs 0312.zip which containsthe files:
        
        hpfs.ifs    12/03/2001 14:05 
        hpfs.sym  12/03/2001 14:05     

Would I be correct in assuming these are updates for the hpfs file system.
Has anyone installed these?
