Oh frabjous day! Calloo! Callay! Success at last! Using GNOME I edited the printer driver options to "Prerender Postscript" enabled, and I have now printed a 26 page document (which includes the "test page" I've been printing) start to finish, including queueing time and one paper jam I had to clear in just under six minutes. That's just about four pages a minute. Just the one "test page" was taking over twenty minutes. That's more than 80x speedup. So, one misconception I had was that this is not a postscript capable printer. Apparently it is. But the postcript interpreting engine is S-L-O-W. Pre-rendering was the trick. Thanks all for your time and help. Where should we make note of this, if at all? Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} This message made from 100% recycled bits. You have found the bank of Larn. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
