The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Print Server w/bonus

Asked by CharlesBLee in Printers

Tags: linksys, camedia, hang, print, server

I have listed this question for 200 points.

If I can get a good answer that helps me soon I will add an additional 300 points.

Here is the problem.

I have a network that utilizes one HP PhotoSmart 1215 printer. This printer has 16MB of internal memory. The business requires that we print up to four photos, approximately 3"x4" on a page.

I have a Windows NT4 Server and Win98 Clients. The Photo software is Olympus' Camedia 2.0 Which came with our digital cameras. The digital size of the photos we print is about 80K.

For some reason, when the photos are sent to the printer they become 2-4MB, at least that is what the Windows Printer Status Box reports, the time it takes to move the files to the printer also suggests that that is the "new" size of the files. Can Anyone explain that? If I can prevent that from happening my problem would probably be solved.

If not, here is the crux of the problem. Printers and print servers seem to be more geared to small text documents, rather than larger photo files. Originally, I had the printer attached to a workstation(all workstations are PIII866/128RAM). Frequently print jobs would get lost or hang on or more systems. I installed a Linksys Switched PrintServer. This made the system much more stable in that all jobs seem to get printed, however, the speed of the printing has dropped dramatically, by a factor of about 3. The slowness is almost unbearable.

What should I do to create a fast, stable environment?
Price is an issue, I cannot afford to spend thousands of dollars.

Thanks in advance for any help.
