By default it is in poll-mode, which means it can be as slow as 1 text-line per minute. Check this in your kernel or try lpt0. Otherwise check again if your printer works at all. I once had a bad printer- cable. Everything seemed fine and the printjobs went out to the printer, but my printer wasn't printing. Could you imagine how long it took me to find out, the cabling was bad :) Malte. > > Sorry for the lack of information....
