Speed: It's just faster with PCL than with PS. Given a multi-page output, the printer is in constant action loading paper, duplexing, printing and ejecting, so no big deal. Error messages: This started with FreeBSD 7. The system log gets full of lpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED] lpt0: [ITHREAD] when printing. I even have hw.intr_storm_threshold="1000" in /boot/loader.conf. I didn't have this problem with 4 and 5. But hey, the printer works (again), and with my "new" system getting ready for 8 and networked printing, I won't complain. :-) > I'm OK with a printer that's as slow as I am. ;) As long as the printer isn't as tall as you are... :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
