PostScript output can be slow. PCL can also be slow. The only way to
really know is to benchmark with your print jobs.
there was no case i found postscript to print faster.
But then you've said you're using a LaserJet 4, which came out in 1992
and has a slow PS interpreter.
Some of my print jobs ran much faster in PS, because it only sent a few
K of PS rather than a megabyte of bitmap in PCL.
There's also the potential overhead of the print processing systems. Just
sending PS in the first place may be quicker than apsfilter or CUPS.
i use lpd+my script for filtering postscript to PCL
Recent printers have fast RISC CPUs and fast PS interpreters. I/O speed
comes into it, too. FreeBSD seems particularly slow over parallel and USB
both not true, but just use lptcontrol for parallel port!
Did that, didn't help (at the time). Not an issue with Ethernet.
