Command and Utility Summary
LAN Manager Print Station loads, it will allocate 2000 bytes for the buffers that
receive data that go into the spool files. In this case, when a print job arrives,
LAN Manager Print Station will collect data until it has received 200 bytes; then
it will write that data into the spool file, empty the buffer, and receive the next
200 bytes of data from that print job. At any one time, it may be doing this for
each of the 10 spool files permitted.
Increasing the size of these buffers will reduce the amount of network traffic
needed to print a file, but will also increase the amount of memory the
LAN Manager Print Station needs. These buffers are allocated from MS-DOS
and will not reside in the same place in memory as the print spooler. The size of
these buffers should be reduced if memory constraints are a problem.
The range is 128 bytes to 4096 bytes; the default is 128 bytes.
/T:n
Sets the priority of LAN Manager Print Station on the host computer. That is, it
establishes how successfully LAN Manager Print Station can compete for
processing time with other programs that the user of the host computer may be
running, by controlling how often it can use the computer’s processing power.
The highest priority is 1. Assigning a lower priority (by increasing this value) will
force LAN Manager Print Station to wait longer periods of time in between doing
any processing. If using LAN Manager Print Station seems to slow the use of
other applications on the workstation, increase this value. If fast print spooling is
more important, then assign a higher priority (decrease the value) to give
LAN Manager Print Station more processing time. For example, the default value
of 10 instructs LAN Manager Print Station to process approximately twice every
second.
The range is 1 to 255, with 1 being the highest priority. The default is 10.
/I:n
Each time the printsta utility gains control of the computer’s processing power,
it will use n cycles for processing before it relinquishes control again. The range
is 1 to 255; the default is 1.
/O:n
Specifies the number of characters to be printed in each pass. The range is 1 to n
characters, where n is the value specified with the /M switch. The default
is 32.
/A:n
Causes LAN Manager Print Station to disconnect remote clients that have not
