		DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT
	Table E-28.Components to check for printer performance
		problems – OS/2 (continued)
Printer		Ensure that the Maximum Transmission Unit size (MTU) is as
		large as possible. A small MTU size increases the number of
		packets that are transmitted, allowing greater chances of
		degradation throughout the network. Increasing the MTU size in
		both TCP/IP for OS/2 and the IPS printer may improve printer
		performance.
LAN		If the printer is on a LAN that also has a large number of other
		devices attached to it, the high levels of traffic on the LAN can
		cause printer speed degradation. Consider moving the printer to
		a LAN that does not have so much activity on it.
LAN-to-host		If the speed of the link connecting the LAN with the printer
attachment		attached to the OS/2 system is slow, this could be a bottleneck.
		Review your network configuration diagrams to look for any
		potential bottlenecks.
