Yesterday while printing a large text file to /dev/lpt0 the mouse/keyboard
response time increased dramatically. The system was next to being unusable.
I printed a large postscript file using ghostscript the day before without
the above mentioned effect.
lptcontrol -p seems to solve the problem, but ... why???
And why went printing with ghostscript just fine?
The connected printer is a HP Deskjet 520, if that matters anything.
