Hi there,

I've been running some tests on a Xerox Phaser 4400 and am seeing
delays of more than a minute when printing to the Socket API port,
i.e. port 9100.

At first I thought it might be a problem with LPRng or our filters,
but this doesn't seem to be the case, as sending postscript directly
to the port also produces the same delays, whereas printing to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is instantaneous.  Here's an example of what I mean:

Sending job directly to port 9100 of the xerox printer takes over a
minute:

[host]lp: time nc xerox_printer 9100 < ~toby/linux/SOURCES/LPRng-3.8.21/UTILS/one.ps

real    1m15.754s
user    0m0.010s
sys     0m0.000s

... but the same command to an HP printer is immediate

[host]lp: time nc hp_printer 9100 < ~toby/linux/SOURCES/LPRng-3.8.21/UTILS/one.ps

real    0m0.022s
user    0m0.010s
sys     0m0.000s
[sybies]lp:

lpr [EMAIL PROTECTED] is also instantaneous.

Has anyone else seen this kind of problem?  What do others use in the
lp= part of printcaps for Xerox Phasers?

Thanks in advance
