Running FreeBSD 2.2.0-RELEASE.
Problem: Printer (a Canon BJ200 Bubble-Jet) runs at normal speed about
half the time, but often excruciatingly slowly. Sometimes it will print an
entire page, pausing about ten seconds between passes across the paper.
And other times it goes at normal speed. I use apsfilter and
ghostscript 3.51 for most printing.
This behavior just began about a month ago. I think of a bad connection
somewhere, with an ACK signal failing or something like that. Or is it
possible that the printer port interrupt can get turned off, and the
/dev/lpt driver fails to restore it?
Wonder if anyone else has seen this happen. I'd be grateful to find out!
