Steve,
Try creating a separate printer in your printcap
file like the following that does not use the filter. Don't
forget to create the directory and as far as I know, you
will have to restart lpd. Also, you will have to modify
your /etc/dosemu.conf file.
doslp1|DOS Printer #1:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/doslp1:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:
I tried printing your e-mail using Netscape to my Panasonic
through my postscript filter and it was very slow. I see no
need to run dos or Windows print jobs through a filter. It
may or may not work, but it should help and it's worth a try.
Also, keep me posted as to the outcome.
