Hi Managers,

We use PathWorks v5.0f server (and 5.0 clients) and there's a
HP-IIP printer connected to a client PC via parallel port.
I defined it as a shared LAT printer.
Our DEC3000/300 (DU 3.2c) reaches it via LAT device (tty07).
My users asked why printing was very slow, so I had checked /etc/printcap
file and had set baud rate 19200 from 9600. I restarted all daemons and
printing had stopped: lpc said that no daemons had been presented for my
que.
gigaque:
        printer is on device '/dev/tty07' speed 19200
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        1 entry in spool area
        no daemon present

When I replaced original settings and restarted daemos printing had been
started:
gigaque:
        printer is on device '/dev/tty07' speed 9600
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        1 entry in spool area
        Wed May 22 09:36:37 1996: waiting for lock on gigaque



My printcap file is for this printer:
gigaque|lp1:\
        :br#9600:\
        :ct=LAT:\
        :fc#0177777:\
        :fs#01:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/hplaserof:\
        :lf=/usr/net/servers/lanman/logs/lplogs/gigaque:\
        :lp=/dev/tty07:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/hplaserof:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#80:\
        :rw:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/giga:\
        :xc#0177777:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:
----------
How can I speed up printing? Please help!

Best regards,
