Hello,
We have several print queues configured on our AIX 5.3 boxes. Each queue has its own printer IP configured. Recently we have been facing some issues with the print jobs. We are seeing 2 to 3 second pause between print jobs on all print queues.
Called IBM, they have checked IP trace and snap files, everyting looks okay. IBM is still working on this issue.Meanwhile I thought somebody in this forum can help me out on this issue. Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
2 or 3 seconds? Would that really matter?!?

any way, can you ping the printers? how about nslookup? It could be a dns issue (but i don't think so if you say IBM already checked IP trace!) but worth checking!

By the way it might not be a problem with the AIX box! It could be something around it like the network! the DNS! or even the rounters in between! how about the printer's memory size?!?

Look for recent changes! There must be something changed lately for this to happen!

Regards,
Khalid
