already tried. The only difference is that printer doesn't know when each 
jobs end - so pressing "cancel" on printer by user mean nothing more will 
ever print after that ;) - as cancel works by ignoring data until end of 
job.

speed is same.

> size, it's probably not that.

Yes it's not that. i tried making dumb 200MB postscript file and pressed 
cancel just after starting sending data. so printer just had to receive 
and ignore data - got 2.5MB/s with
cat file >/dev/ulpt0

tried

dd if=file of=/dev/ulpt0 bs=1m - same speed.

in actual printouts it's more like 200kB/s or less.

It may be printer's problem but not it's postscript processor

Kyocera FS-3920DN have identical CPU and identical amount of RAM and 
handles printouts by LAN at 100Mbit/s speed even on complex postscript 
files.

Do you have any idea what to check more ?
