hi,
I defined the spooldirectory in the global lpd.conf file (/usr/../%P)
where %P gets expanded to the printername.
Did you try to send the ps file directly to the printer: lpr
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ?
You can try all available ports on the printer like this to see if there
are fast and slow ones. If it still takes as long to get the job printed
it's probably the printer having problems (the 81xx series from HP is a
mess in every sense).
In that case you could try some tuning of the jetdirect card (IO buffer
etc) but I'm not a specialist in that. Another thing would probably be
to turn on the postscript error handler of the machine to see if he's
complaining about something...
regards + gruesse

P.S.: the 'translate_incoming..' stuff is just for forwarded NT jobs to
get the correct file format entry....
