I print ghostscript files to a 24 wire printer using the interruptless printer driver with no speed problems. What you describes sounds similar to problems I had printing TeX data using a 9 wire driver. The problem was the TeX driver, not the lpt driver. You might try ghostscript at different resolutions and see if that makes a difference. You are using gs252? -Andrew Moore <alm@netcom.com>
