- This has been asked before, but not yet answered.
- Somewhere between linux98.1 and linux99 there was
- a change in the blk-drv code which affects output
- speed on printers. Does anyone know a cure for
- this dilemma which doesn't involve putting the
- old blk-drv code from linux98.1 back into 99?
- (In fact, I remeber there was a posting about
- a programm solving this problem (lptune???) but
- the same posting said that this programm was not
- yet completed).
-
- This gets me to another question: Why the hell was
- there a change in the !working! lpr-code in a
- version so close to linux 1.0. Shouldn`t we have been
- waiting till 1.0 was out and then think about redesigning
- lpr-code?
-
- Meanwhile, my system is to some extent unusable, since
- I am not able to print out graphics which were
- produced by doc-->ghostscript. So, I can only print
- out plain ascii-files, which (thank god!) works good.
-
- Any cure for this problem would be highly appreciated.
