Hi, another questions from me. I have a HP LaserJet series II connected to the parallel port of my 386 running ix/386. I got it running (thanks for filters I got after my last request) and it works. If I send a file to lp containing about 40 kBytes of processed TeX code it lasts about half an hour or longer until the 4 pages are out of the printer. If I do the same under MS-DOS it's about 55 seconds. Does anybody have an idea about that? Thanks Fritz

I have seen here on the net a discussion about shared interrupts giving rise to operation in a timeout mode vice interrupt.
