Depending on the program or the filter, you can tune for low memory printer. Point your browser to <http://localhost:631/>, select printers, then on you printer, go to "set printer options", and look around. If it doesn't accept your password, you need to add one using "lppasswd -g sys -a <user name>" Also, what type of cable/connector you use affects. If it is a classic parallel cable, you gain speed giving an IRQ to the interface, which by default it hasn't in Linux. For instance, in my "/etc/modprobe.conf.local" I have: options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 Obviously, you have to select the right parameters. If it uses the irq, you will see something like this in the file "/var/log/boot.msg" after reboot: <6>parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP] <6>lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
