increas inbound conectns in xp home printer share
This is a discussion about increas inbound conectns in xp home printer share in the Windows Networking category; I am using a win xp home computer to print withdrawal slips in my warehouse. This printer is a receipt printer. More than 10 computers in the network may try to print to this shared printer. Basically, this is what this computer does - its a print server.
I am using a win xp home computer to print withdrawal slips in my warehouse. This printer is a receipt printer. More than 10 computers in the network may try to print to this shared printer. Basically, this is what this computer does - its a print server. No other critical processing is done on the computer. Recently i was alarmed that some of the print jobs were not printed and this inbound limitations issue came to me through a friend. Is there no way i can increase the inbound limitation? What are my other options?

XP Home (or any "workstation" OS) has a hard coded limitation of 10 concurrent connections. Your only option is 2000/03 server or a Linux solution.
My question would be why are you attempting to use a consumer/home OS for this kind of job in a business setting ?!?
To save a couple hundred instead of using a server OS solution ?!?
I don't know if XP Pro would allow anymore concurrent connections but my feeling is no, it would be hardcoded to the same limitation....

Setup a Linux print server. It's legal. It's far more stable and it's free.
