I have an Epson Stylus COLOR printer that I am using solely to print text
under FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE. Previously under 2.0.5-RELEASE it functioned
well within expected norms. However, it now takes about 5-7 minutes to
print a _single_ page of text. I am totally baffled as to why this is
occuring. If anyone can give me some insight, I would be greatly
indebted to them. Here is my current /etc/printcap:
------ /etc/printcap ------
# @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
lp|local line printer:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/epson:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
------ EOF ----
As an aside, if anyone knows of a way to get Epson's to print Postscript,
I would appreciate knowing about it. This isn't a big deal, as I have
access to other printers that can, just not in the same building.
With thanks in advance,
Daniel
PS: Please cc: me any reply, as my inflow of mail doesn't allow me to
