Hi all, I would like to give my lpd daemon and the magicfilter filters and its scripts higher priority when printing. If my cpu is being heavily used then my printer(HP 660C deskjet) is very slow. During one slow print session I tried giving the filter a nice level of -5 and the printer started zipping right along. So now I would like to give lpd, the filters, and the various scripts a nice level that will give it some priority. Can I just nice lpd and its children will inherit the nice level? The info pages for nice don't give very man details.
Thanks, -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
