What can I do? Any suggestions?? I am not sure what you mean by "requests". Do you mean many 'lpr' commands from different users/hosts, or do you mean many files on a single 'lpr' command? If you mean many 'lpr' commands, are they coming in from many different hosts to some central print server? --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
