You can also get a faster CPU, more cycles available for servicing
interrupts.

I have no idea how to do it, or if it is even possible, which is why
I said "somehow". You could check the printer's manual to see if it
has such a setting.

Thanks a lot, I think it does print a bit faster. But more

The interrupt service for the parallel port is using over 3/4 of

Hello
I have a printer attached to a parallel port on an old
Compaq Armada 1700 laptop. When I print large (> 100k) documents
the system responds very slow (1-3sec) to keyboard strokes or
mouse moves. I wonder if I can lower the priority of printing.
The details:
