Hi all,

I have a problem concerning the printer device drivers written
by Wolfgang Stanglmeier (dated 92-08-19) and Andy Valencia
(dated 92-09-08).

When I try to print a graphics file (eg DVI file), the first 10
lines of a page will be printed rather quickly. The rest of the 
page occupies the printer for about 10 minutes.

Does somebody have a solution for this problem?

My configuration: 386/25 with 8 MB.
My printer: HP Deskjet (16 KB printer buffer).

BTW: This problem does not occur while printing text files.
