I am suprised at the transfer rate - this is VERY slow.
Something is wrong here. I had an HP4000 and it was NEVER
this slow. Mind you, it took a while for it to PRINT.
Do me a favor - instead of appsocket use RFC1179.
lp:
:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <- no IP.Printer.Address%9100
See what the speed is like...
By the way, the Solaris lp uses this method, I recall...
