- When I upgraded to 0.96p6 (and now 0.99, has the same lp code),
- parallel line printer driver got VERY slow (printing bitmaps an a NEC
- P6 or a HP DeskJet takes 1 or more MINUTES per line).
-
- Using /usr/src/linux/kernel/chr_drv/lp.c and /usr/include/linux/lp.h
- from 0.98p5 (or earlier) works with both 0.98p6 and 0.99.
-
- Is there a fix for the "new" broken lp driver?
-
- Thanks,
- Harald

- Congratulations! If AT&T wins its suit against BSDI, you've guaranteed that
- you can never write OS software again, just by reading the previous line!
