- Are you using the Centronics (Parallel) Interface as your I/O connection?
- If so, ou might want to consider turning off print spooling in the Print

- and report your findings as a followup posting.

- One disadvantage to turning off spooling, potentially, is that while your
- application is printing, you can not be using that application.
