The printer shouldn't be the bottleneck. It does wait for gs to finish before it prints. I will look into getting a postscript printer, does anyone know of a good model?

We've got a P-II 350 print server, which also does a bunch of other things (such as web serving and file serving) which chews through print jobs at a reasonable clip. GS isn't as fast as a native PS printer (and if you're doing lots of jobs, I'd recommend investing in a decent PS-capable laser - cheaper running costs, better print quality, and faster printing) but it shouldn't take minutes per page. Unless, of course, the bottleneck is your printer... Does the printer spool pages at a constant rate? Or does it print a bit, wait for GS to catch up, and then continue? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
