Hi, me again...

I looked at the code - that patch was already applied, I used the SUSE 2.0.35
linux source to compile the kernal.

I don't think the problem is the lp driver. cat <filename> > /dev/lp1 
prints sufficiently fast.

I think the problem is with ghostscript going nuts about some bits it sees
when processing a file and and spending all it's time with it ;-)

Seriously, somehow gs is invoked as a filter and something goes wrong. An
updated gs version seems adequate (I have 4.03) since apsfilter definitions
appear
 not to work with the 4.03)

I guess, I'll have to compile gs myself or change the whole
printing/spooling/filtering
business to something which works better.

Thanks anyway,

Samartha
