Print times on slow network connection

I�m looking for some ideas on how to resolve a problem that I�m having in a production environment. I'm also not sure if this is the correct forum to be in so if i would be better off elsewhere please politly let me know :)
Background:
I have a group of users that are working over private 56k Frame Relays. We are rolling out are new printer to these location to support new documents that are required to be printing. These laser printers are replacing a generic text impact printer. The new document include a lot more information than it�s predecessor. The old report was 10 k and the new report is now anywhere from 85 to 170k. This new report is being prepared by JasperReports
Problem:
Obviously this report is going to take longer to download before it sent to the printer, any where from 20 to 30 second to be exact. But it gets worse� some of these location have 2-3 workstations sharing the line so these times could spike to as high as 85 seconds for a single document. This report is being sent back to the thin client through a stream that is started by a print applet on the page.
Other givens that I can not change:
The line speed can not be changed. I don�t have anyway of making these documents any smaller
Questions:
Can anyone think of any solution to lower the print time? Obviously there is no application problem as it is not an issue in location with a high connection speed. I have done packet tracking for these locations and the network can not be optimized any more than it already is.
Is there anyway to bring some of the responsibility to the client side so that we can send the information back in some other format to lower the network traffic� I�m grasping for straws here so any ideas are welcome,

"We are rolling out are new printer to these location..."
Is this mean that you have a printer in a single location and the users are sending print jobs over a slow frame relay?
If that is the case one way to over come this problem is instead of sending the print job to the printer from client location you can implement a some kind of a server side application through which the users can directly order print jobs. And host that application in the same location that host the printer. Basically it should be possible to send the generated document to printer directly without having to send it to end user and then to printer.

Slow network connection possibly causing a slave to crash.

We are using Berkeley DB XML 2.4.16 (Patch level 1) in combination with Berkeley DB 4.7.25 (Patch level 3). These are Java processes.
We have a 4 node replication group with a master and a slave in the US, a slave in the UK and a slave in HK. We are using the built in replication manager. The acknowledgement policy is set to none. The HK slave OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 8).
The slave in HK is on a fairly slow network connection to the master in the US.
The amount of traffic generated by the master can become fairly busy at times and this seemingly causes the HK slave to become fairly unstable. It would routinely crash (SIGSEGV) with the following back trace caught with gdb and a debug build of Berkeley DB XML/Berkeley DB. The location of the crash is very consistent. The UK slave also suffers this problem, but to a lesser degree (I suspect the faster network link to the UK to be a factor here).

We had been adjusting the rep_set_limit environment parameter to see if it would help. First to 5MB, then to 1MB with little or no improvement.
In an attempt to gather more information I had activated verbose replication logging on the HK slave which has had the side effect of fixing the problem.
Does this sound like something that could be addressed with the rep_set_request parameter?
I am no master on tuning these replication settings so some guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Neil

OK,
I was able to reproduce the crash once again with verbose replication logging at the master, I know the verbose logging at the slave would be better but as we discussed that in fact fixes the problem, probably due the additional logging is throttling the replication mechanics a little.
Here is the back-trace…

The HK site was a bit behind when I started the tests, I didn't have the slave instance up over the weekend, I don't now if this really effects the results as I believe the HK has a hard time keeping up when there is a large volume of replication traffic in the normal case, hence the resulting crash is the same…
Before the crash, the slave was synchronizing with the master and it was sending out what I would guess normal "nobuf" messages. This is quickly followed by a large amount of "nobuf resend" messages. This continues for a bit intermixed with " MASTER: wrote only 53 bytes to site XXX.XX.XX.XX:58010" (The number of bytes are random). In the end it starts logging the following several times along with the "nobuf resend" messages..
MASTER: msg to site XXX.XX.XX.XX:58010 to be queued
MASTER: block msg thread, await queue space
MASTER: will await drain
MASTER: drain returned 0 (0,0)
If you would like to take a look at the actual log, I will need a way to filter any sensitive information (which could prove to be difficult) or attempt to reproduce it with another pair rigged to be something generic and hope it exhibits the same behavior.

Updated iTunes to newest version, and once iTunes opened, it crashes immediately. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program numerous times. Also had a hard time getting a network connection over the weekend (I knew my connection was fine)

Updated iTunes to the newest version but have been unable to use it since. Once it opens and tries to connect to the iTunes store it crashes and asks me to close the program and report the problem. In the Windows information center, it tells me to update iTunes to the newest version to fix the problem; when I do and I tell it to repair the problem it goes through the motions, but the program doesn't change, it still doesn't work. I have tried uninstalling and resinstalling the program numerous times from the weekend until now to no avail. After the update was completed, it had a difficult time making a network connection; I knew that the connection was fine, as I was on the internet and receiving e-mail at the same time.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

HP Deskjet 3520 e-All in one printer trouble with scanning network, connection and very slow print

Dear all
I bought two days ago HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in one printer serie, but i have some really bad issues with the scanner! I have searched on the internet and i couldn’t find anything to solve the problem.
I have installed the printer according to the book of the printer, so everything did go well(i think), except that i can’t connect the scan to my computer, a Mac OS X (i am connected with the printer). I get directed to the website where i can connect the scanner, but every time i try to connect it with wi-fi, i get two notification, one from my computer (from HP Itility (Dutch) program) that the connection is off and second from the website that i have to make sure that i’m connected with internet (which i am) and to check the IP address if it is the same with my computer (which is the same).
Obesely something did go wrong, but i can’t find the problem.
Beside when its copy or prints a document (no matter how many pages) it’s very slow. It takes 10 -15 minutes till the printer starts. Has it something to do with the problem i’ve got with the scanner or is the printer always so slow? Because the very first time, when i installed the printer, it printed very fast.
By the way i also print the test-results to check if there is a problem, but according to test-results there are no problems at all.
I hope that someone recognize this problem and can help me to solve it.
Regards,
Esra

Outlook 2010 performance much slower than 2007 and 2003 when used with POP3 mail provider over slow network connection

When received messages include embedded pictures, Outlook 2010 does not persist those pictures in the .pst file with the message text. Instead, it redownloads the pictures every time the message is rendered for viewing or printing.
Send/Receive to replicate a message with multiple embedded pictures from POP3 mail server (not Exchange server)
Select and view the message - notice all the x placeholders for the embedded pictures
Right-click any x placeholder and select to "download pictures"
After some delay, the pictures are rendered, replacing the placeholders, to form the complete message
Now, select "File" and "Print" -- notice that the preview is not immediately displayed. There is a delay while thos same embedded pictures are downloaded, again. Sometimes there will be a pop-up notification that Outlook is "communicating with
the server"
Eventually the message is fully rendered with all embedded pictures
Now, select a different printer -- notice that the preview disappears and it takes time to .... yes, redownload those same pictures, again.
Finally, click on "Print" -- notice yet another delay for a final download to rerender the message for the printer.
Having done all that, close Outlook, disconnect from the network (turn off wireless or disconnect wire), open Outlook and view that same message. The x placeholders are shown instead of the embedded pictures. Although those embedded pictures
were downloaded multiple times already, they were not persisted locally.
Outlook 2003 and 2007 correct ask for confirmation to save the pictures locally then does so. Printing and viewing is then possible without having to redownload those pictures.
Is there going to be a fix for this Outlook 2010 defect? I've been waiting, applying updates, and waiting.....

Please do not close this thread. The issue remains. I apologize for not checking back sooner. I thought I would get pinged by email when this tread was updated; I did not. I'll monitor more closely in the future.
First, please note that I explicitly set Outlook to NOT download pictures automatically. I want to be prompted to download. However, after confirmed that I want the download, I expect pictures related to the message to be downloaded only once,
immediately after I confirm that I want them downloaded.
I have confirmed many times that the behavior in this area is NOT identical between 2003, 2007 and 2010. In particular, 2007 does download once and store locally (if user confirms to save changes when prompted), as expected, and 2010 downloads each
view/preview/print.
This is quite easy to verify -- simply unplug any network cable, disable wireless, etc. In other words completely detach from the networked world. 2007 will correctly view/preview/etc. from local storage whereas 2010 always reverts to showing
placeholders for any embedded images. This is 100% repeatable.
As an additional verification, simply move the .pst file to another system that is not connected to any network. Open the .pst file with 2007 and any embedded images that were already downloaded (and saved) are there, with 2010 they are not.
With 2010, it is bad enough that embedded images are not saved for viewing when disconnected. Worse than that, the repeated downloads can be a significant disruption to performance. Just get on a really slow wireless connection as is typical
in some hotels. Then try to view and print messages with lots of embedded pictures. Slow takes on a whole new, even slower, meaning.
This 2010 defect has been reproduced. Is there a KB article, Windows Update, hotfix,.... anything available to eliminate this problem of repeated downloads of embedded pictures?

Painfully slow network connection

I am trying to evaluate the prospect of installing OS X Server 10.5 on a G5 tower at my workplace, and one of the primary issues is the speed of the office network. Perhaps due to the fact that we are physically located in two different buildings, we not infrequently have problems with some computers connecting to the server (currently running OS X 10.4 [Client]). When connecting via AFP, for example, some computers time out trying to connect or grind to a halt trying to open or save a Word document or something. The server also tries to back up all of our machines using Retrospect, and while some computers transfer files at around 100Kbps, some are around 2K or, again, just time out.
I'm trying to get the network folks to look into these issues, but my basic question is this: if I want to have people able to log in and use their home directory on any computer, can I set things up such that if a given computer has a terribly slow connection to the internet, they can at least login to some local account instead? Ideally, if on their own computer, the fallback would be a cached copy of their own home directory, a la Portable Home Directories. I'd probably be happy with just a vanilla account, though.
In the same vein, if someone logs in using their network home directory, but the network connection goes to ****, will they be unable to do anything? Will they at least be able to log out and switch to a local account? I suppose that this would only work if each computer archived a copy of the user account of any user that logged in using it.
Thanks for any advice you have on implementing this sort of scheme,
Greg

{quote}With the AirPort Extreme, in the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, click on the button for "Wireless Network Options", check the box for "5 GHz Network Name", and enter a different network name. (That can be trivially different, such as the name of the main network suffixed with an underscore and the digit 5.) Once configured that way, connect your "N" gear to each network in turn to see if one is any better than the other. (If you're wondering what effect this would have, it allows segregating your "N" gear from the older gear to prevent the older gear from slowing down your network. However, distance and interference from things like walls may negate any advantage.){quote}
William: I was gone most of yesterday, but had a chance to implement your recommendations today. I added the 5 GHz network as you suggested, but in order to connect to that at all with my 802.n11 MacBokk Pro, I need to be within a few feet of the AE (base station). If I try to access that network even from the next room (well within reach of both the AE and the livingroom AX, I get one bar and "failure to connect" messages just trying to logon to that network.
However, I did some experimenting that (as of right now, anyway) resulted in much faster network access, not only from my MacBook, but also from the older iMac which is the furthest Mac from the AE. According to my wife, that iMac is "loading web pages faster than I've ever seen them!"
Here's what I did:
1. Moved all three units to places where it seemed they would have the least amount of interference with the clearest path from unit to unit, also raising the height of both AXs from about 2-3 feet from the floor to about 5-6 feet from the floor.
2. Changed one setting on the AE (base station): Wireless Tab > Wireless Network Options > Multicast Rate ---> Changed this from Low to High.
I have a feeling the location shifts made the real difference, but I will try changing the multicast rate back to "Low" just to see what happens.

WinPE fails every time after "preparing network connections" message during Build & Capture task sequence

Sorry, I'm using SCCM 2012 but can't find a forum for that ANYWHERE, so I'm posting this here:
We're making our first attempt at OSD (build & capture) on an out-of-the box Dell Optiplex 9010 all-in-one. I've injected the NIC drivers found
here on Dell's Enterprise support blog into the boot image.
Using PXE boot, the machine starts up in WinPE when we deploy the task sequence, but every time it reaches the "preparing network connections" message in the splash screen, WinPE quits and the machine reboots.
I've hit F8 to get the command line while WinPE is booting, and from running ipconfig there, it looks like the machine takes a long time to pick up its IP address from DHCP, but it DOES pick up an IP address eventually which implies to me that the NIC driver
is at least somewhat working.
See below for the wpeinit.log file from this machine. What am I doing wrong? What's that message about "no operational adapters found", expecially when I've verified that it does get an IP address (albeit after a short while)?

This turned out to work for me, too! It was nothing to do with network switch configuration, per se-- or at least I didn't have to change anything on my switch to fix it. Instead I tried fusiongroup's method of getting into the command-line before the WinPE
boot hit the "Preparing network connections" step, and I repeatedly ipconfig /renewed until suddenly the TS reached the next step of the sequence instead of failing out.
I also made this an "Available" sequence instead of a "Required" sequence, which I think buys you a little time in terms of offering a GUI in WinPE for the sequence, instead of just trying to run it.
One last thing: I was running this on a Workgroup machine that is not joined to our domain; I had followed another tutorial to get the client installed on it even though it's outside the domain. Prior to trying the command-line fix fusiongroup gave, I also
went into Assets and Compliance in Configuration Manager and right-clicked the machine in the list of devices, and found that I had to "Approve" it for management by SCCM. Don't know if that helped as well.

Can a Hyper-V machine be made slower and/or emulate a slow network connection?

need to reproduce an issue with a client-server asynchronous communication (a bunch of JavaScript AJAX vs. an OData api), seemingly caused by some race condition in the calculations when the server and/or the network connection
slow down.
Now, the test environment I have is a local Hyper-V machine, so it's all shiny and fast ... I need it to slow
down to verify it.
Is there any known method to (basically) make a LAN Hyper-V machine to behave like a remote server reached though a crawling internet connection ?

The best method I have found for simulating a crapy internet connection is to put a pfsense router between the server and my test PC and setup the Limiter features.https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Traffic_Shaping_Guide#Limiter
This can be used to emulate a slow network, latency or even introduce packet loss to see how your applications react to adverse network conditions.
pfsense can run inside a hyperv virtual machine. So you can set it up then change the webserver network settings to be behind pfsense.
If you don't like pfsense you can use any BSD distro that supports Dummynet.http://cs.baylor.edu/~donahoo/tools/dummy/tutorial.htm

Why face time cannot use network connection?

Why face time must use wi-fi, cannot use network connection?

If you want to do video chat over 3G, there are other apps in the App Store that you can use, including, I believe, Tango, Skype, Qik, Yahoo Messenger.

Very slow network connection on Mac Pro

I have a FiOS connection and good speeds on my Macbook Pro and iPad. However, my 2010 Mac Pro connects like a dog. I just connected to my yahoo page which gives typical results. On my Macbook Pro it took 3-4 seconds. On my Mac Pro it took 58 seconds for the initial page content to arrive on my screen and 1:40 for the page to be fully loaded. This is typical. It doesn't matter if I connect through ethernet or wireless - same results. It doesn't matter which browser I use.
I ran speedtest and the results were actually better on the Mac Pro - I have no ide why
Mac Pro ping 16 ms DL 30.73 mbps UL 14.28 mbps
Macbook Pro 17 ms DL 20.58 mbps UL 14.22 mbps
2010 Mac Pro, 3.33. ghz 6 core with 32 gb of ram running 10.8.2
Any suggestions.

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Can I use a USB Lead to connect PC with my Printer instead of the network connection?

I have recently moved my BT home Hub (wireless modem) from my study where it sat beside my printer, into the living room downstairs. So that it’s A, nearest to the BT access point (less loss) and B, it can connect directly to my TV, Blu-ray & BT Vision box. I have used a pair of Powerline adaptors to connect the home hub back to my HP PC and it’s all working very well with a faster broadband speed reaching my PC.
The only problem I now have is with my printer, which connects wirelessly to the home hub.
The printer is now right on the edge of the wireless range and really struggles to make a connection, sometimes failing altogether. The printer takes a long while to start up and sometimes fails to collect all of the data.
My real question is:
Can I simply connect my PC to the printer using a USB cable (USB A to USB B) and if I do, do I need to make any other changes to the way my PC connects with the printer?

No problem. Here's the link for the download for your operating system. Click Here When I sent my first post, I wasn't sure which operating system you were using.
Here's something you might try first before you do the download. You can leave the current drivers installed ( might come in handy if you decide to reconnect to the network ). Click on your Start button, and then select All Programs. Scroll down to the HP folder and open it. Then open the folder for the Photosmart 6510. Select Printer Setup and Software. You can go through the installation process as you did before, but this time you will choose usb connection.
Let me know what happens.
Good Luck !

Use of Time Capsule in network connected office?

I have a time capsule that I love at home. I would also like to set up another one in my office at work. Our desktops are connected into a company wide wired network which is how we access the internet. Is it possible to just intercept the network cable and plug it into the back of the time capsule and then come back out of it to my desktop to create a wireless network in my office? I will keep the software at my computer.
If not maybe I should talk to my IT guy to see if he will allow me to install it ahead of the cable/dsl modem if we have one?
Thanks in advance

This is exactly what I do. We have both wired and wireless. I plugged the ethernet cable into the WAN port of the TC, set the TC to "bridge" and I have a wireless network in my office.
For what it's worth, I also have a USB hard drive plugged into the USB port AND a Brother 2170W laser printer wirelessly connected to the TC as well. On top of that, I also have a wireless net camera for security and it connects via the TC also.
So the answer is absolutely, it works and in my case, once I got this rather complicated array of deviced coordinated, it has worked transparently. I backed up my 95GB of data on my MBP overnight (took about 7 hours I think) and since then it has been simple and convenient.

Slow network connection after uprade to kernel 2.6.19

Hello
Since I upgraded my kernel from 2.6.18 to 2.6.19 my connection to the net is extremely slow! Before the upgrade everything worked fine! And I haven't changed any config file.
When I ping my internal router (ping 10.0.0.1) I get sth. like the following:
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=133 ttl=127 time=391 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=134 ttl=127 time=4394 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=135 ttl=127 time=3383 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=136 ttl=127 time=2382 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=137 ttl=127 time=1381 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=138 ttl=127 time=380 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=139 ttl=127 time=0.280 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=140 ttl=127 time=0.283 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=141 ttl=127 time=0.283 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=142 ttl=127 time=0.292 ms
So sometimes the rt is pretty ok and the next ping is about 100x slower.
With any other machine (gentoo, windows) I have no problems.
I checked several threads in the forum and followed every advice, but haven't found a solution!

I have ip6 turned off and checked my /etc/hosts file. So I thought maybe it could be
a problem with the nic driver. But changing the driver (from r8169 to r1000) hasn't changed anything!
So now I really don't have a clue what the problem could be!
Any help really, really welcome!

It means you can downgrade your kernel if it's still in /var/cache/pacman/pkg.
I tried several kernels form 2.6.18 to 2.6.19.1, custom and kernel26 from repo, and still www response is horrible. It's strange, but only http protocol is broken. I have no problems with ftp, mail, torrents and others. Some websites loads normal and some of them not, especially based on mediawiki engine loads very long.
I tried many ways to solve this. I turned off iptables and almost all daemons, tested different browsers, removed browser cache and config, downgrade last upgrades, run network with dhcp and static addresses. I think it isn't dns problem, because the same reslov.conf I have on testing partition with ubuntu and it works flawlessly. My kernel doesn't have ipv6.
I'm running out of ideas now.

Using Time Capsule Without Network Connection

In my room I have a USB printer connected to my Time Capsule. Without configuring the time capsule to connect to my home's wireless network I'd like to:
- Back up to my time capsule wirelessly using Time Machine
- Be able to print wirelessly
Is this possible? If so, how?
Thank you.

No it isn't possible.
Edit.. LOL!! my answer is opposite to BOB.. I assume you want internet at the same time. He is assuming you will swap from using internet to only using the TC in local network and hence removing all internet connections. So my answer is based on how to get them working at the same time.
What you want is two separate wireless networks.. with no links. And to use both networks simultaneously on only one wireless client card. No can do!!
What is possible.
You have to connect the TC to the main wireless router. I strongly recommend this be done by ethenet or an ethernet replacement technology like Ethernet over Power EOP .. the adapters are now cheap and fast enough for wireless link. You will turn off wireless in the TC although you can also set it up with identical ssid and security on a different channel.. then you have one flat network and all devices can roam.
Alternatively..
You need two wireless clients in the laptop/computer you use.
You can buy a usb stick compatible with the OS used.. os x although you nowhere state the type of system. USB stick wireless are cheap and plenty are available that will work fine with Mac OS drivers.
On the USB stick, setup manual network with different IP subnet to the main router, and no gateway or dns. This will allow you to communicate to two different subnets at the same time. (On OS X it does not strictly need such care with gateway and dns as you can control the order of devices better than on a pc.. just the same I would do it manually)
Of course you could also just plug in ethernet and do the same thing.
As per Bob definitely do the backup numero uno by ethenet.. it will take ages by wireless and the chance of a corrupted backup is so so much greater in which case it will just start again.
