Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone has used the lpt driver under
FreeBSD (not lpa).  I'd just like to know if it has been fixed.

The reason I am asking is because I have found that the lpa
driver creates a very heavy system load when downloading graphics
to a laser printer at several Kbytes/s.  (This tends to annoy
interactive users ;-)

Geoff.
