[comp.sys.ibm.pc] wordperfect and NEC LC890, >1hour to print a page

joec@Morgan.COM (Joe Collins) (09/06/89)

We run wordperfect 5.0 on an IBM 55SX PS2 computer. The
55sx computers (4) are connected to a SUN-based ethernet using
PCNFS, although that's not relevant. 
Anyway, when we print a document with line drawing/font changes
to the NEC LC890 printer, it can take > 1 hour to print?!?!;
This is when the NEC LC890 is in POSTSCRIPT BATCH mode.
If we reconfig the NEC to LASERJET mode, a very similiar
document takes <1minute to come out. By very similiar I mean
that the laserjet mode doesn't support the full features of
postscript mode. We have taken this up with WORDPERFECT but they
said it was the nature of the document, the printer and memory
within the printer. The local PC support people in our company
are now trying to figure this out.

Any ideas?

many, many thanks,
