>Organization:
Kavalan
>Environment:

ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 flags 0x4 on isa0
ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP-only) in EPP mode (EPP 1.9)
ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP
Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0:
ppbus0: <Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 6MP> PJL,MLC,PCLXL,PCL,POSTSCRIPT
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port

>Description:

When I send a file to the lpt printer, the OS almost hangs.
After finishing printing the file, the OS come alive again.
I have tried ECP,EPP mode respectively. Is there any solution
the "SLOW" printing? (We have no money to buy a network print kit)

>How-To-Repeat:

Trivial.

>Fix:

No idea.
