The title states the problem. When I use lpr to print a 3 line file
I takes 20 minutes or so. Each line appears at 10 or 20 second intervals.
I set the /etc/printcap:
lp|local line printer:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
to lpt0 which probes as a bi-directional printer port.
My onlly guess is that the Soundblaster board in my system is also
on interupt 7. I do not have the 'snd' device in the kernel gen
because I didn't know how to use the device driver.
Anyway, any thoughts would be appreciated. E-Mail would be nice
since access to net is intermittant and news gets purged often.
