Previous Message by Date: click to view message previewShort Job Printer within a printer class?Problem: We are looking for a "short job printer" within a printer class of 3 single printers. This printer should only print jobs with less of 10 pages. If using a printer class, CUPS do a load balancing like 'round robin'. Is it possible to configure the single printer by page count? Can a filter rewrite the environment variable 'PRINTER'? Hope for help -- Andreas Next Message by Date: click to view message previewwhy not hash?hi there, i'm new on this list. i noticed that cups 1.2+ uses a binary search O(log n) to lookup the option keyword which is a major improvement from a linear search O(n) on cups 1.1. can it use a hash table lookup O(1) instead? would cups.org take it if i write the hash table lookup? what's the process? obviously, i'm not familiar with open source processes. without realizing that 1.2+ added a binary search, i made small changes to cups from Mac OS X open source to use the hash table lookup (CFDictionary/CFString), and ppdConflicts() call which calls ppdFindOption() got 2 times faster. btw, it spends more than 50% of time in ppdFindOption() while opening the print dialog on Mac OS X. katsura Previous Message by Thread: click to view message previewShort Job Printer within a printer class?Problem: We are looking for a "short job printer" within a printer class of 3 single printers.
