With InfoPrint (IP PrintWay and NetSpool) you also need to consider how many
FSS's and FSA's (JES2 PRT) are being used. The more printers you want to
print concurrently, the more FSA's you need.

We have the same Netspool/IP printway set up. And found a significant delay
in print starting at the printer after being requested. by significant, I
mean 5 to 20 seconds where before our users experienced the print starting
almost immediately. Same sort of delays being experienced in printer
commands...

We saw a similar thing with Netspool and IP Printway. The "old way", you
had CICS and VTAM (both high priority). Now we have CICS to Netspool to
get the print to the JES spool, then IP Printway to route it over IP to the
printer. More STCs to hop through. TCP/IP is high priority, but can you
justify having STCs that exist solely for batch print at the same high
priority? Probably somewhat similar situation with VPS. Just my thoughts
on the matter...

Because your IP network is slower than your SNA network? More traffic on
the IP network? VPS runs in a service class with low importance?

I have been following this debate about tcp/ip printers. We are a Z/OS shop
with CICS ts13 and have DRS/VPS. But since we have migrated from mainframe
to TCP/IP our users are complaining about printer performance. Does anybody
any idea why our printers have gone slow since migration.
