I forgot to mention that after the first reply to my thread by John, I turned the resolution down to 150x150 (the lowest it would go) and black and white (not even grayscale). Putting the interrupt at 5 as opposed to 7 allowed for one whole test page to print straight through. Turning the quality to 300x300 grayscale promoted the same problem with the dmesg message: Interrupt storm detected on "irq5: lpt0"; throttling interrupt source On Apr 10, 2005, at 9:31 PM, Anish Mistry wrote: > On Sunday 10 April 2005 08:34 pm, Anthony M.
