I have two printers connected to my system: one is a HP laserjet Series II connected to /dev/lp1 the other is a EPSO LX80 (Yuk!) connected to /dev/lp0 (/dev/lp0 is on the mono adapter). The problem is that the laserprinter works fine but the LX80 is acting very strange. Although it prints OK - it seems to be very very slow. Now I know the LX80 is slow by nature but not that slow!. The lp driver seems to buffer up a line then send it and the whole process of doing this can take up 1 second between printing it. So you get a burst of print then a 1 second (or thats how long it seems) delay then the next line and so on until the whole file is printed. Can anyone please shed a light!!
