Recently we've got the PROMs for our Texas Omnilaser 2115 upgraded from PostScript Version 45 to Version 47.0 (firmaware Level 1.6). We noticed that printing is now slower (for PostScript generated by Troff, Gem...) and might ask the manufacturer to put back the old PROMs. Had anyone experienced this before and why shouldn't we go back to Good Old Forty-Five? Thanks.

I had images that were at the upper and lower limits of the page that had to be adjusted to fit onto the page. Another interesting point is that it now appears to take an extremely long time to switch from PostScript Batch mode to TI855 emulation mode. I would be interested to see if anyone from Adobe has any comment on this. I would not consider switching back to the old version as I really like having a complete set of PostScript (35) fonts. -Steve
