I can't get he baud rate adn such set correctly Baud rate??? Is the printer connected via a serial port? If it's parallel, and all your problem is that it's terribly slow, try setting your printer port into ``polled'' mode: lptcontrol -p Some newer HP printers are told to not work correctly in interrupt mode, apparently due to some (not yet exactly understood) timing problem. Slowaris is also affected by this (and that's probably the reason why the HP support does rather act like an ``unsupport'' here). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
