Fix print problems with HL-L2320D and others #68

Closed 0xAl3xH closed 4 years ago

0xAl3xH commented 4 years ago

Although I have not gotten a response on #52, it seems like multiple people have confirmed that this helps improve print success rate so I am submitting this PR. As stated in the original issue, I only played around with this variable because it seemed to have helped with print issues in the past although I have not looked into the code enough to determine potential side effects. However, I have tested this for 4 months and it seems like others have also been able to fix their print issues with this fix.

@al3x-huang, in your opinion, is there chance that reducing max_lines_perblock further (to 16 or maybe 8?) could help with printing issues on HL-1202R that have 1MB RAM?

It's certainly worth a try. Although make sure you try the newest driver version first since the issue I experienced was fixed.

Unfortunately it didn't help. Maybe you have other ideas by any chance? What could cause brlaser fail on 1MB RAM device, while proprietary driver works?

Yes, I already tried it, and it didn't help too.
