I don't know if it's relevent, but Im running 1.1.5.1R with the same printer problems. I don't have anything else but the printer on IRQ 7. I've tried two printers, a brother M-1709 and an epson LX 800. Both exhibit the same slow printing problems. Specs for the LX 800 should be easy enough to obtain. BTW 1.1R had no problems with the same hardware. _-_|\ Terry Dwyer E-Mail: tdwyer@netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au / \ System Administrator Phone: +61 9 491 5161 Fax: +61 9 221 2631 *_.^\_/ Telecom Australia Telstra Corporation MIME capable mailer v Perth WA ( I do not speak for Telstra or Telecom )
