But... I've downloaded different firmwares to printer twice, so the
same result was gotten with 3 firmwares.
The same slow printing happenes with other such printer.
Moreover, HP JetAdmin print service works with that printers very fast
(i use it for samba printing). IMHO JetAdmin doesn't use LPD service.
And one thing: disabling filter (:filter=:) makes printing fast
and... disables logging. Maybe that's just a "side effect" and it
begin to use LPD?

Ok, thanks. But... looks it doesn't work for me :(
I changed printcap the next way (filter is set in lpd.conf):
lp213|lp213a|lp213r|lp213p:
:lpd_bounce
# :lp=lp213%9100:
:lp=pr@lp213
Asked ./lpc reread
And typed command:
# lp -d lp213
Line 1
Line 2
^D
request id is root@e250b+245
I've got on paper:
Line 1
Line 2
That means cr/lf convertion control wasn't sent to printer
and no log information was written in that case - only acct &
status.lp213 which are meanless.
So filter looks to be disabled.

Ah, i saw that in HOWTO. Excuse me... could you finger to a keyword
which i need to study? ;-)
Thank you anyway,
