- 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?
