Just to be clear, when I said the values from dmesg and config covered everything, I mean all the physical and/or BIOS devices are included in the list. There are TWO cards plugged into the MB, other than the CPU's. These are de0 and the vga. The on-mother-board devices are all in dmesg. There a

Changing to polled improved things, somewhat. Printing a 30k postscript file takes 2 minutes. Sending an 9368 byte binary, printer control and setup file takes approximately 1 minute. This is very slow. I will try to setup a DOS or WINNT machine to duplicate this. tomdean To Unsubscribe: sen
