[comp.unix.questions] Second line printer on Xenix

romwa@utgpu.UUCP (06/25/87)

I have tried setting up a second parallel printer on SCO XENIX V
2.0.6 and on 2.2.  It is configured on an AST ATvantage
multifunction card for lp2 (DOS lpt3).  The performance of the
printer is unsatisfactory in that at the end of each line of
print, the printer hesitates before outputting the next line.
This is unacceptable.  I believe that the interrupt for
/dev/lp2 is 5.  Is this in conflict with some other device on
the system (e.g. Archive Tape drive with AT Mini software)?

I would appreciate any help with this problem as a multiuser 
system without flexible printing facilities is somewhat
hamstrung.
