Hello. My old sparc server have a USB extension card, which provides two |
| 2 |
USB slots at the back of the machine, driving a USB printer on Slot A. |
| 3 |
This printer runs at heavy load. because it cannot print the documents |
| 4 |
as fast as we need, I wish to add another printer. In most casese, we |
| 5 |
need the two printer working together the same time rather then one |
| 6 |
after the other. |

The two USB slots provided by the USB card are both OHCI (some USB 1.x |
| 9 |
stuff, not USB 2.0). So far it seems one single printer uses up all the |
| 10 |
USB bandwidth (sometimes printer stop there several seconds wait for |
| 11 |
signal). What would happen if I put another Printer there? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
case A: the new printer uses the bandwidth on slot B, both run as fast |
| 14 |
as if they were the only USB printer; |
| 15 |
case B: the new printer share bandwidth with the old one, the result is |
| 16 |
both printer work 1/2 fast, that is equal to not having bought another |
| 17 |
printer at all. |

Which one is true? |
