Any replies to the address at the end of the message as I'm posting this for a-another. Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Re: slowing down printer output Can anybody suggest how to restict the flow rate of data through the printer device? So far the best I can manage is to run some other time-wasting tasks in the background and this does improve the situation.... ( The reason for doing this is that when my printer has a full buffer it prints graphics out in little 2 or 3 inch bursts, then accepts more data then another little burst etc. This becomes a vicious circle with the print head spending more time juddering back and forth than actually printing. I am using an A500 (+.5 meg), Citizen Swift 24 set to NEC emulation and dviprint (of PasTeX). ) Myles Rix mri @uk.ac.exeter.dcs
